At Willowbank School, eating and drinking skills and the associated social skills are part of the curriculum. Staff encourage pupils to be as independent as possible, while providing support needed. Lunches and milk are provided free of charge for all pupils at the school.
Special diets can be provided for children who require them and the catering staff are aware of all requirements, allergies and needs.
The Speech and Language Therapist assists with plans for pupils’ eating and drinking in order to develop skills and maximise independence and there is support from the Dietician where necessary to reinforce this.
Our lunch menu works on a three-weekly rotation and there are at least 2 options every day. The Catering Service aims to use organic, local, seasonal produce. For those pupils who have food sensitivities and/or restricted diets, catering staff will always ensure a ‘safe option’ exists.
