School lunches
School life
As of September 2023, our catering is provided by Accent Catering. Working in collaboration with Accent we ensure that the structure of our menus promotes the wellbeing of everyone we feed. Girls and boys take lunch in the dining room, located in the Harvington building.
At Durston, we strive to provide pupils with varied and imaginative menus using a combination of fresh, healthy and seasonal ingredients. Menus are produced by committed teams with a real passion for food and service. School lunches are compulsory for all pupils from September 2023. The cost per day is £5.20. This will include a healthy morning snack, a hot lunch and a dessert. There is a three-week rolling menu that will be in place for a full academic year.
