“Traditionally, our school meals have always been cooked in-house and our catering teams have had to work very hard to produce nutritious meals for our pupils to enjoy. The impact of having apetito’s delicious, nutritious meals can be seen in many areas, whether it’s that our pupils have more energy in the afternoon or that their bellies are full and they’re ready to go back to class and learn, and I’m really pleased that we’re able to offer our that to our pupils.”
