At Dodworth St John’s CofE Primary Academy, we are proud to offer high-quality school meals that are both nutritious and enjoyable. We believe that healthy eating plays an important part in supporting children’s wellbeing, concentration and readiness to learn, and we work hard to ensure that every lunchtime is a positive experience.
Our kitchen is led by Mrs Thelwell, our Head Cook, who is passionate about preparing delicious, freshly cooked meals for our children each day. She and her team take great pride in providing a varied menu that offers choice, quality and balanced nutrition, while encouraging children to try new foods and develop healthy eating habits.
Working in partnership with Kirklees Catering and Enhance Academy Trust, our catering team is committed to meeting the needs of our school community. They regularly listen to feedback from pupils and staff and use this to help shape menus and dining experiences. Special dietary requirements, allergies and individual needs are carefully considered to ensure that all children can enjoy a safe and enjoyable lunchtime.
Lunchtime is an important part of the school day, providing opportunities for children to socialise with friends, develop independence and enjoy a welcoming dining environment. We are proud of the service provided by our catering team and the care they show in helping every child have a positive experience at mealtimes.
