Quality facilities management in each of our academies is key in sustaining the learning and working environments of our pupils and staff and supports better outcomes for all. SUAT therefore requires a school meal service that provides healthy, balanced meal options. We believe that there is a link between a healthy diet and the ability to learn effectively, and therefore, we require this important element of the school day to benefit our pupils as much as possible. We want every child or parent to be able to choose, and be provided with, their preferred meal. We also want every child to enjoy their meal in a well prepared and safe dining environment. We understand the schools have a responsibility to promote and encourage healthy eating and we require a caterer to work with our academies on developing this further.
