PRIMARY SCHOOL CATERERS BRIGHTENING YOUNG MINDS

At Chartwells Schools, we create lifelong memorable moments by providing wholesome nourishment and exceptional learning at 1,800 schools across the country. We believe that the key to fuelling young minds comes from understanding both what they need and what they enjoy, which is why we develop nutritious and delicious food that pupils love, alongside helping to ensure a healthy body and mind.

We’re committed to making nutritional food accessible to every pupil, which is a core value of our fantastic teams across every primary school we work in. We create menus that are delicious, seasonal and healthy, using carefully selected ingredients that we know pupils love to reduce waste and build a more sustainable world for our future generations.

CREATING MEMORABLE MOMENTS

As leading primary school caterers, we’re dedicated to going the extra mile. We know how important it is to get children excited about food and its role in social interaction, health and wellbeing, whilst educating and encouraging them to develop positive relationships with nourishing food to live healthier, stronger lives.

Our menus and concepts make it fun for pupils, with multi-sensory themed days throughout the year that encourage pupils to try something new. We know that food is much more than a combination of ingredients; it’s an experience, and one that we’re proud to help primary school pupils associate with fun.

PROVIDING EXCEPTIONAL LEARNING EXPERIENCES

Our dedicated team of nutritionists and primary school food ambassadors drive key initiatives and deliver fun, interactive activities, raising school meal uptake in the process.

Every year, we deliver around 50,000 fun, educational sessions as part of our award-winning ‘Beyond The Chartwells Kitchen’ programme. Meanwhile, through our Super Yummy Kitchen initiative, we encourage pupils and parents to bring our recipes to life at home!

We also work directly with Chef Allegra McEvedy, known for her cookery work on CBBC's Step Up To The Plate and Junior Bake Off, who creates her own range of exciting new dishes exclusively for our primary schools. Read more about our food education for young minds
