School meals
The council's catering contractor, Chartwells, provides meals to
more than 75 per cent of schools in Medway. All other schools
provide their own catering services, overseen by their own school
governing body or Medway Council or they use another catering
provider.
Medway school meals now:
- meet the government food standards;
- offer more homemade dishes prepared and cooked in the school
kitchen;
- contain plenty of red meat, fish and wholegrains;
- offer fresh fruit and vegetables everyday;
- contain reduced levels of hydrogenated fats, artificial colours
and additives;
- use healthier cooking methods, such as steaming and grilling,
to reduce the levels of fat and to minimise the loss of nutrients
from foods;
- offer children a chance to try new foods and different
tastes;
- allow children to learn important social skills in a good
eating environment.
Find Chartwells' menus and prices for primary and secondary schools.
Please support the hard work being done to improve food in
Medway schools by encouraging your child to try a new healthy
school meal or by packing a healthy packed lunch.
