Dear parents,
We have recently received next year’s prices from our current catering providers, Doncaster Council Schools Catering Service.
Due to rising food and labour costs, they have significantly increased the price to all of our schools across the Trust.
Even with the schools heavily subsidising this, we may still need to increase the cost per meal for parents to £3.00. We are greatly disappointed to ask this of our parents, but this is a decision we have had to make due to reasons out of our control.
We will continue to work with Schools Catering over the summer holidays to try and bring these costs down, whilst ensuring a high quality meal will be provided to each of our students. We will keep parents informed with any updates on this.
We are exploring other providers, and if necessary, we will look to change providers if a more cost effective offer is available elsewhere.
We will do everything we can to keep the price of school meals affordable to our parents, but we wanted to provide early warning that our prices are likely to increase from September 2024.
