Catering for Middle Schools

'Midi' logo

Middle schools are a stepping-stone between primary and high schools.

Our range of products and menu planning ensures a wide choice and variety of dishes, featuring "Healthy Options" foods that are high in carbohydrates and fibre with low fat and sugar content.

Now more than ever children need to make informed choices about their diet - school, as a place of education, has a crucial part to play in promoting the message about healthy lifestyles.

For young people a healthy diet broadly means:

  • a balanced diet with plenty of variety and enough energy for growth and development
  • sufficient fibre-rich starchy foods
  • plenty of fruit and vegetables
  • not eating too many foods containing a lot of fat, especially saturated fat
  • modest amounts of dairy products
  • moderate amounts of meat, fish or alternatives
  • not having sugary foods and drinks too often

When starting a new school young people are faced lots of changes. To help them find their feet in the dining room all new intake pupils will receive a welcome leaflet introducing the school meals service and answering some of the questions parents/carers and young people may have about the service offered.
