Buxton Community School

School Catering

We are proud of our Catering Team all of whom work hard to provide students with healthy and tasty meals every day which meet the nutritional regulations laid down by the Government.

  • Our main meals and desserts are made freshly each day on the premises
  • All our suppliers are reputable local businesses
  • All our sandwiches and wraps are freshly made onsite each day.
  • All of our morning break items are prepared on site using bread from our local bakery.
  • The school does not use peanuts in any of its menu items.
  • All the catering staff are fully trained in food safety and hygiene, and refresh their knowledge every 3 years.
  • The catering department is self financing - the very reasonably priced meals generate the income necessary for all costs.
  • Many of our staff are parents themselves so are always happy to help students with any problems they may have.

Students who don't wish to purchase food in our dining rooms, are welcome to bring in packed lunches.  They can choose to sit and eat their pack-ups in either dining room with students who are eating school lunches.

Cashless system

Payment for the school meals should be made through the ArborPay system which links directly with the cashless system in school. We do not accept cash in the dining halls.  Students in receipt of free school meals have the appropriate amount put on to their account each day.
