HOLLYGIRT SCHOOL TASTES SUCCESS WITH CATERING AWARD

CATERING staff at Hollygirt School have been celebrating after winning a CAP Award.

Members of kitchen team at Hollygirt School were awarded a Silver CAP Award, two years in a row, for their cooking and catering skills.

Hollygirt Head Teacher Pam Hutley said she was immensely proud of the catering team’s recognition.

She said: “This award is a wonderful achievement and well deserved.

“Every day the catering team works tirelessly to ensure we all have delicious and nutritious food to eat and I have no doubt that this plays a key role in the success of the wider school, after all, you are what you eat!”

Ian Jackson, Chief Inspector for the CAP Awards, said the catering team had impressed him with its adaptability.

He said: “The school feeds a wide age range of pupils, from three to 16, both boys and girls, so to cater to all these tastes is no mean feat.

“The team has a very innovative approach, for instance they recently introduced a breakfast club and they are also fully up to speed on allergen awareness – a rapidly changing field.

“The feedback from pupils is very good and there are exciting plans in place for the progression of the service.”

During the inspection, the catering standards of the school were scored across all aspects of the service from due diligence to food storage and from staff training through to the actual pupil meal experience.
