At Graffham and Duncton schools we are passionate about food. We think it is really important the children develop a health relationship with good nutritious food and we also think that this can and should be integrated into the local community with sustainable locally sourced ingredients and freshly made nutritious meals. We want mealtimes at school to be full of joy, learning and community spirit.  

Catering Team – Our catering team, pictured here, is formed of Chef Laura (on the right) who is based at Graffham. Laura brings with her a wealth of experience and some fantastic ideas about how to get our children engaged with food and cooking. KT (on the left) is in charge of the catering at Duncton, ensuring that all pupils at both schools can benefit from the fantastic food which is cooked at Graffham each day. 

Food in the curriculum – we regularly use a wide range of food to support teaching and learning, for example, cooking, trying foods from around the world, using food as part of an art project, tasting foods, experimenting with food (e.g. in science and design & technology). If your child is a vegetarian, has a food allergy, has religious reasons or any other reasons for avoiding certain foods or food products, please let us know.
