School food catering service

Walsall Council Catering Service is a Food for Life bronze award winner. We provide meals for around a third of the primary and special schools across the borough.

Food is freshly prepared every day, and complies with the Government’s food and nutrition standards. 

Food at primary and special schools

We use RSPCA Freedom Food free range eggs, Marine Stewardship Council approved sustainable fish and Red Tractor approved fresh meat.

School meals are on a three week cycle, and include roast dinners, pasta and curries, plus desserts. We encourage children to get involved with planning and preparing food on certain days.

Sandwiches and jacket potatoes, as well as fruit, salad, cheese and biscuits, yoghurt and fresh drinking water are all available every day. There is always a vegetarian option.

As well as primary schools, we cater for Elmwood Community Special School, New Leaf Inclusion Centre, and Shepwell School. We adapt the same menu to the needs and dietary requirements (such as soft food) of pupils.

You can view the menu in the drop-down lists below, or download a copy.
