Daily quizzes will be set on the videos which can contribute to the how low can we go? challenge. More information will be provided during the week.
Sustainable catering
In order to support the objective to challenge ourselves to reduce our carbon footprint, all the schools will be offering sustainable school options during the week. Food management is a key way to reduce our carbon footprint and it is hoped that by offering sustainable food dishes, it will support the ‘how low can we go?’ challenge as well as allowing our school communities to taste and enjoy the culinary sustainable options.
Cucina, the third-party provider based at Field End Junior School, Ruislip High School and Vyners School, will be offering an additional option that promotes sustainable food production. They will offer meat free dishes (click here) for the secondary schools which is an important way to reduce our carbon footprint and a sustainable dessert option at the junior school (click here).
Taylor Shaw, the third-party provider based at Hermitage, will offer an additional surprise vegan option to promote environmentally-friendly farming.
Ryefield Primary School’s internal caterer has additional options including faux chicken pasta bake, quorn mince bolognese and breaded vegetable fingers.
