Sponne School has held the Healthy Schools award since 2007 and we strongly believe that the food our students eat contributes directly to their performance, behaviour and high attainment.
We offer free exam brain boosting breakfasts to our year 11 students throughout summer exam season to ensure they get the day off to a healthy start.
We have actively pursued catering partnerships that support our thinking and since September 2013 we are delighted to have Cucina Restuarants Ltd as our catering supplier.

Food Standards
As from September 2009, School's must comply with the Government Standards set for Food in Schools in terms of nutritional content across the menu offer available. Further monitoring is then required on the sales mix to ensure we are actually selling the right quantities of foods with the correct nutritional content. To this aim we have introduced a Cashless Catering system to enable us to analyse the food sold and make informed decisions about the menu on offer.
Every recipe used by the caterers has been nutritionally analysed so as to provide a complete picture of the balance of nutritional elements over the week or a two weekly menu cycle. This is a tough remit as the standards relate to not just to the basic food groups, but to a range of vitamins and minerals too. We are working closely with Cucina Catering, our catering contractor and The Health Education Trust to ensure these targets are consistently met.
