NEWydd School Meals

At NEWydd, we believe school meals should be more than just food to fill you up— they should be fun, tasty and good for you.

Over the course of a 39-week school year, we serve more than 2.1 million meals across our schools —using quality ingredients and sourced locally wherever possible.

Our Mission?

To make every school meal exciting, nutritious, and something to look forward to — while helping pupils build healthy habits for life.

Our kitchen staff are provided with a continuous training programme to ensure they are equipped to comply with all aspects of food safety from ordering, allergy awareness, preparation, cooking, serving and cleaning of all food and equipment used in the delivery of a school meal. All Area Managers audit every kitchen on an annual basis, to provide reports to Senior Management and Head Teachers. Environmental Health Officers also audit the kitchens on a regular basis and provide a Food Hygiene Rating Scheme award.
