School Meals

Welcome to Taylor Shaw Catering at Shoreham Academy

The school’s catering service is provided by Taylor Shaw, caterer of choice for thousands of secondary school students across the UK.

We believe lunch is an integral part of the school day. When students sit down with friends, they cement relationships, enhance social skills, and replenish both their body and mind.

Our menus are exciting, nutritious, and appealing, served in a supportive environment designed to educate students about how they can make healthy choices to support their wellbeing and improve their ability to focus.

Our freshly prepared menus meet the Government’s School Food Standards and meet the bronze Food for Life standards.

Good nutritional choices are vital to students’ health, academic achievement, and wider performance at school. Our Healthy Swaps campaign encourages the uptake of healthier items by providing suggestions for more nutritious options that are readily available.

Theme Days

Allergen Management

At Taylor Shaw, all our colleagues are trained and up to date with allergen procedures and will provide accurate allergen information to your child. If your child has allergies, we would ask that they speak to our server for information so that they can be provided with the information they need to make an informed and safe choice.

Eating a School Lunch is Better for Your Child

They save time & money
They’re nutritionally better than a packed lunch
They promote a varied diet & encourages new tastes
They support inclusivity, dining with friends
They help academic attainment by being linked to improved concentration

Allergy Information

Taylor Shaw

We are a nut aware school. We have a number of students and staff who have severe nut allergies. Can all parents please ensure that no children should be bringing in nuts and nut related products into school at any time. There are an increasing number of students with allergies and these can cause anaphylaxis and other serious reactions.
