School Catering

All food in schools must meet nutritional standards so that children have healthy, balanced diets. At CCC our canteen offers a fantastic quality food service. All food is prepared from fresh ingredients wherever possible by a highly dedicated team of in house caterers. To develop and enhance our food service going forward we are now working with Educatering, a branch of Goosemoor Foodservice Ltd.

The daily choices include a cooked meal option, hot grab & go options, sandwiches, wraps & baguettes, pasta and a salad bar. There is also a range of home bakes, a fruit salad bar and individual items of fruit available for students to purchase.

There is a 3 week menu that is updated termly, an example is available here and our current prices are;

Pasta / Curry Pot £1.80

Pasta / Curry 1/2 Pot £1.20

Sandwich, Baguettes, Paninis & Wraps from £2.10

Meal Deals (eg Main Meal or Sandwich plus pudding or cake) £2.61

'Grab and Go' items from 90p

Cakes and Bakes from 85p

Drinks from 90p

All our service meets the healthy eating standards: there will be high-quality meat, poultry or oily fish and at least 2 portions of fruit and vegetables available with every meal. There will not be crisps, chocolate or sweets available to purchase in the canteen or in vending machines.

The canteen operates a cashless till system which has proven to be highly popular with students, staff and parents. We moved to a biometric system in September 2023, this allows all students to purchase their food using their thumbprint only. Student catering accounts are preloaded with credit by parents / carers via the Arbor App. For students receiving Free School Meals, their lunch account updates daily with their allowance and this is accessed using their thumbprint also. 

Students are requested to bring a full water bottle to school every day: fizzy drinks and energy drinks are not allowed. All students can sit to eat in the canteen.

Please go to our Finance, Payments and Communications page for further information regarding Free School Meals and and how to claim.
