Our catering service
Our catering service is proud to provide good value meals using quality ingredients carefully sourced. All of our schools follow the new school food guidelines set by the Scottish Government which came into effect from 8 April 2021. A summary of these can be viewed in the school menus section.
The following regularly appear on our menus:
- Beef, pork and lamb from farm assured sources within Scotland
- Processed pork products from farm assured sources within the UK
- UK Red Tractor Chicken products in all our primary schools
- Highland free range eggs
- Local fruit and vegetables from Swansons Fruit Company, Inverness - Swansons source locally produced fruit and vegetables from the Highland region when it is available and in season.
- Schools growing their own fruit and vegetables are encouraged to include this as part of their lunch provision.
All our primary schools and early years and childcare settings have been awarded the bronze Food for Life Served Here award from the Soil Association. As part of this over 75% of the menu is freshly prepared with ingredients that are GM free, with no undesirable E-numbers or hydrogenated fats.
