At Westbrook Hay Prep School, we believe that we can offer something that will satisfy everyone.  \nWe outsource our catering to Thomas Franks Ltd. They support ethical buying, and use locally grown, environmentally sustainable food wherever possible. Thomas Franks use as much fresh food as possible, with menus linked to seasonal produce. They work with our suppliers to make as much use as appropriate of organic, natural food products and fair-trade produce and to eliminate GM food and potentially harmful food additives. They ensure that their suppliers, local and national are committed to providing best quality and value, with the highest standards of accredited health and safety. They are expected to have procedures covering full traceability of source through the supply chain, with comprehensive food labelling, supplying information on both allergens and nutritional data.  \nThomas Franks’ policy is to ensure that the staff and children are being served healthy meals in a happy and relaxed environment.  \nUnless in extreme cases of dietary need, which have been discussed and approved, children may not bring food or snacks into School at any time.  \nThomas Franks take advantage of the best seasonal produce on offer from local suppliers. Fresh food is sourced locally on a daily basis.  \nWe have an active pupil School Council which has representatives from every year in the school. They meet with the Chef regularly to discuss menus, and to suggest new dishes.  \nLunch is the main meal of the day, and is cafeteria style with a choice of protein, starchy carb and a selection of vegetables. At Westbrook Hay Prep School, we believe that it is very important to allow sufficient time in the middle of the day for pupils to eat and to unwind. Lunch is compulsory (and included in the fee), because we believe it is important to foster the ethos of community eating. Pre-Prep children enjoy a protein choice, starchy carb and 2 vegetables in line with EYFS guidelines. Prep School children also have a choice of hot food and can add salad.  \nBREAKFAST CLUB  \nWe offer a cooked breakfast daily with vegetarian options, cereals, toast and juices, fresh fruit and natural yoghurt.  \nDRINKING WATER  \nDrinking water is widely available throughout the school. Bottled water may be brought into school. Children are actively encouraged to drink water regularly.  \nOUR MENUS  \nWe offer a wide choice between hot and cold food, with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and salads. Weekly menus are put onto our website. We offer our pupils a widely varied and healthy and tasty diet. We also attempt to cater for all tastes and preferences, including vegetarian.  \nAny parent who is worried about the quality of the food is always welcome to come and meet with our Chef.  \nSPECIAL DIETSAND CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES  \nWe expect all pupils to eat school meals, and can only meet individual requirements that are based upon attested medical grounds.  \nWe do not allow the use of any nut or nut products and will endeavour at all times to ensure that these and any other foods known to cause, or potentially cause, an allergic reaction are not brought onto site nor used in the preparation of any meals.  \nParents of children who have allergies to any food product, or who have special dietary requirements, are asked to make this clear in the medical questionnaire which they complete when their child enters the school. They should inform the school at once if their child subsequently develops an intolerance of any food.
