Catering

Catering at Clyst Vale is aimed at encouraging healthy eating through sensible choices.

Our catering contract is with Cleverchefs. The College complies with the Government’s nutritional standards for food in schools. There is a breakfast service in the Canteen from 8.15am each morning; during morning break a snack bar is run in the Giraffe House, with a wider range of cold and hot snacks available in the Canteen.

Lunches are provided on a cafeteria system from 13.25 in both the Canteen and the Giraffe House. A set meal is available every day, or students may choose dishes at the prices displayed. Hot and cold drinks are also available. A range of healthy snacks (sandwiches, wraps, tray bakes prepared on site) is available. Free School Meals are provided for children of parents/carers in receipt of certain state benefits.

To apply for Free School Meals please go to the Devon Citizens Portal

Receipt of Free School Meals will also entitle your child to a range of other benefits such as free curricular trips, revision guides and print credits.

Students may bring packed lunches to be eaten in the Canteen or the Giraffe House, where drinking water is available. Filtered drinking water is also available at points around the College. Students are encouraged to bring a water bottle to reduce single use plastic; cups are no longer provided.

The College operates a cashless catering system with parents/carers able to make payments through an online system. Full details are available on our website at https://login.schoolgateway.com/0/auth/login

We expect children to respect their environment, to deposit litter in the bins provided, and to remember that chewing gum is not allowed anywhere on the premises.
