Making the Most of Our School Menus
We are very fortunate to offer a wide variety of delicious school meals each day, and we always want to make sure that every child enjoys a tasty, nutritious lunch. Recently, however, we have noticed an increase in food waste, with more meals being left unfinished.
We understand that children can sometimes be tempted to choose the same meal as their friends, only to discover at lunchtime that it is not quite to their taste. While we never want a child to be hungry, we would love to encourage children to choose meals they know they will enjoy eating.
Did you know that meals can be booked in advance through Arbor? This can be a lovely opportunity to spend some quality time together, looking through the menu and chatting about the different options available. Giving children a chance to make an informed choice can help them feel excited about their lunch and reduce the amount of food that goes to waste.
By helping children choose meals that appeal to them, we can work together to reduce food waste, make lunchtime more enjoyable, and ensure our children are getting the most from their school dinners.
