SchoolSchool Meals
It's official! Our meals are Gold Standard.
At Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School we are committed to providing your child with healthy, balanced meals.
We provide a full range of healthy food options in our dining room including salad boxes, sandwiches, wraps, jacket potatoes, fruit salads and lots more.
We do not provide crisps, confectionary, sugary drinks or cereal bars and those bringing packed lunches should aim to avoid these items to help the school promote healthy eating.
We hold a 5 star rating from the Food Standards Agency (renewed Feb 2024).
