SENIOR SCHOOLS
Creating food that is tasty and good looking
Senior school catering needs to keep pace with a more independent, discerning audience. We create modern, flexible food offers that reflect current tastes and trends, while maintaining the nutritional standards and consistency that schools expect. From grab-and-go options to more traditional meals, the offer is designed to suit varied schedules and preferences.
Just as importantly, we understand the commercial and operational demands of senior environments. Our approach focuses on flow, speed of service and clear choice architecture to manage busy lunch periods while maximising uptake. This ensures the dining space remains a popular, relevant and well-used part of the school.
ENGAGEMENT
Good food should be the foundation. We seek to redefine what adding value means at your school.

APPROACH TO FOOD
In senior schools, our approach is centred on relevance, choice and consistency. We recognise that students expect more from their food environment, so our menus are designed to feel current and appealing, blending global influences with well-executed classics. Everything is chef-led and developed in partnership with our nutritionist and site teams, ensuring the offer is both balanced and genuinely engaging.
Presentation and flow are just as important. We create modern, high street-style food environments where counters are vibrant and intuitive, helping students make quick, confident choices. The result is a service that feels grown-up, keeps pace with demand, and remains a relevant, well-used part of the school day.
Allergies and Intolerances
Culinera have a robust allergens and intolerances policy which. All of our team are trained on the importance of our procedures. Further to this, we provide enhanced training to at least two 'Allergen Champions' per school who will have completed the Allergen Accreditation course. We conduct half-termly refresher training to ensure all team members understand clearly our processes.
Through the use of our various systems, we have ways to support schools and parents in ordering meals safely.
