Education Catering

 

Until the end of the 25/26 academic year, our school meal caterer is Education Catering (previously known as Hc3S).   

Every day each child selects either a Red (meat) meal, a Green (Vegetarian) option, or alternatively they can choose a jacket potato will a daily filling.   All meals are served with accompanying vegetables, carbohydrate and a dessert (fruit is always a dessert option).  There is also a salad bar and bread ,with water available to drink.

 

The primary school menus can be accessed via the following link:-https://www.hants.gov.uk/educationandlearning/hc3s/education-catering/primary

 

Education Catering also now have a facebook page link: @hc3seducation.  Menus are posted at 3.15pm each day for the

next day.  Also news about HC3S and school meals are regularly posted along with updates on food policy and current HC3S activities.
