The school's dining room, which has been recently refurbished, has light oak tables, bistro-style chairs and a new light-wood floor, which create a fresh, modern environment in which to eat and chat with friends. Sodexo, the school's catering service providers, provide an excellent service and have a great deal of experience in this field. Daily menus include breakfast, lunch, tea and supper and offer a choice of soups, snacks and hot meals (including vegetarian options) made from fresh, good quality ingredients as well as a delicious salad bar.
