My School Lunch | Moving Up

Lunchtimes in Comprehensive Schools

One of the biggest changes you'll immediately see when you start your new school is to your lunchtime service!

But don't worry - these pages are here to help you get a better idea of what to expect when you visit the canteen!

The menus still focus on providing healthy, nutritious options, but you'll have more choice of what to eat and how often!

REMEMBER:
You must still eat at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables every day!

Food Bars

TRACKERS MAIN MEAL OPTION

Here you can purchase the hot meals of the day (much like your canteen in primary school). The menu is on a three week rotational cycle (just like in primary school) and ALWAYS includes a vegetarian option.

All time favourites like traditional roast dinners are still served as well as international dishes like Tikka Massala.

Every meal is served with a choice of pasta, rice or potatoes and seasonal vegetables.

Tuesday and Thursday are NO CHIP DAYS, but don't worry, there are plenty of other mouth-watering alternative on offer to tickle your tastebuds!!!

Your food will no longer be served on plastic flight trays, but on china plates with stainless steel cutlery.

DON'T FORGET:
It is still your responsibility to clean away after yourself and ensure the canteen is kept clean and tidy.

TRACKERS SALAD BAR & MILK BAR

This area serves fresh, healthy foods like salads, pasta pots, sandwiches, hot and cold baguettes, tortilla wraps and jacket potatoes - all freshky prepared each day!!!

TRACKERS PASTA BAR

Pasta is a great lunctime meal for pupils as it's incredibly healthy - low in salt, rich in vitamins and entirely cholesterol free, making it the perfect energy food for a busy student!

Choose from a daily choice of 2 delicious sauces to pour over the hot Italian pasta both freshly prepared every day at our Pasta Bar.

We offer a wide rage of flavours including meat and vegetarian sauces which suit all diets and tastes as well as offering great value for money!

TRACKERS LITE BITE OPTION

This is a swift service for pupils on the go!

If you still don't have time to queue at lunchtime, why not use our Pre-Order system to definately make sure you miss the lunchtime rush! Just pick up a Pre-Order form from the canteen in the morning, make your selection and pick it up at the beginning of lunch - simple!
