Discover how one independent school transformed its food offering — improving quality, increasing uptake, and reducing kitchen complexity without compromising its high standards. 
 
For independent schools, the pressure is mounting. VAT changes, rising costs and increasing parental expectations make it harder than ever to deliver great food in a financially sustainable way. 
Ursuline Prep School faced these same challenges — and made the switch to apetito. In just a few weeks, they went from no hot meals at all to serving nutritious, high-quality lunches that pupils love. The result? Happier children, delighted parents, and total control over their menu.
