Eating Healthily

House kitchens

Your son’s house has a kitchen where snacks can be prepared at breaks. Our Catering Team supplies Houses with a daily delivery of snacks, milk & fruit. 

You can find a sample snack guide here

You only have to look at the array of breads on offer with the soup at lunchtime to know we take food seriously!

Feeding your son’s body is every bit as important as feeding his mind. After all, his days will be packed with learning, sport and activities, not to mention the important business of growing.

We’re proud to partner with Lodestone House to provide nourishing, fresh meals that support every child’s well-being and learning. With over 50 years of experience, Lodestone House brings a deep-rooted commitment to helping every child achieve their potential through nourishment.

There is a daily vegetarian option and we use Halal meat wherever possible. If your son has special dietary requirements or allergies, the General Manager is very happy to meet with you to discuss these.

Nutrition plays a key role in performance, whether of the brain whilst studying or the body during elite sports. The catering team works closely with key Academic staff, Academy programmes and sports coaches, as well as with the pupil committee, to ensure that the menus meet everyone’s needs.
