When feeding hundreds of students and staff on a daily basis, satisfying all of them all of the time is a great challenge. Our catering manager and her staff strive to provide great quality in a wide range of culinary options they choose themselves that are greatly welcomed by pupils, staff and visitors alike.

The diverse nature of nationalities at the Marlowe Academy bring it a diverse range of tastes and our Catering Staff are well trained in catering for their needs offering foods various cultures around the globe. As well as accommodating food allergies and dietary requirements, we offer healthy food for all and we are very proud of the links we have made with various businesses, sourcing food locally and improving our community links in this respect.

An independent research report by the University of the West of England (UWE) and Cardiff University has established that there is hard evidence that the work we are doing to transform food culture is having an impact on children, their families and the wider community. The evidence shows that a whole school approach to food education leads to a better family diet and can improve academic performance and behavour.
