Sixth Form Catering

Catering at Bournemouth Collegiate School, as across the whole UCST Group, is provided by the Brookwood Partnership. The Senior School has its own fully-equipped kitchens where all meals are freshly prepared each day. Sixth Formers who are day pupils have a substantial lunch, while boarders have breakfast, lunch and supper. They eat in our very attractive dining room alongside the school’s formal gardens, with lunch being provided in two sittings both of which use cafeteria-style service. Sixth Formers have priority to eat at the beginning of the first sitting, but the choice is theirs. There are always hot, cold and vegetarian options and the kitchen operates on a nut-free basis. The staff eat with the Sixth Form and pupils from the same menus.

Our Caterers – the Brookwood Partnership

The Brookwood Partnership provides catering across the whole of the UCST Group of schools. They are passionate about the feeding of children and consider it their responsibility to encourage pupils towards a balanced diet by creating attractive, nutritious menus and informing them how to eat healthily. The approach focuses on educating, encouraging and promoting a healthy diet for each individual child's future health and well being. 

Brookwood Managers and Chefs are trained using their own specific training course, offering healthy eating with a balance between current eating trends, good nutrition and fresh home-cooked food. To achieve this, they use Brookwood’s own Food Standards Manual and actively encourage the promotion of the “Eating for Life” campaign, which includes a dedication to cooking without salt, promoting fresh vegetables and helping ensure pupils eat their “Five a Day”.  

At Bournemouth Collegiate School our menus are created to ensure that this dedication to food and pupils is achieved.  We offer an extensive salad bar on both sites, with fresh fruit and home-baked bread available daily. Our menus are continually reviewed to ensure that they provide food the pupils enjoy whilst ensuring a variety of dishes, especially for our boarders.
