Sodexo’s 23-strong team at Reed’s will continue to deliver meals for the 700 day pupils, 100 boarders and in the Sixth Form café. The five-year contract is valued at around £1.3m.
The contract also includes the provision of school meals for Ripley Court School, a co-educational prep school for 200 pupils from aged two to 11-years-old, following its merger with Reed’s in 2019.
Steve Hawkins, managing director of schools at Sodexo UK & Ireland, said: “It is a school steeped in history and our team there has become part of the Reed’s family through their hard work, diligence and commitment to providing meals which are appealing and that provide the right balance of nutrients to enable the pupils to thrive in all they do.”
Sodexo’s catering team aims to serve all pupils, staff and visitors with a well-balanced appetising menu with dishes produced from scratch using the best ingredients. The menus have been developed to help the pupils make informed choices when it comes to food and drink.
The Waste Knot initiative sees boxes of ‘rescued fruit and vegetables’ distributed to Sodexo catering teams across the country, including Reed’s School.
Jason McKinlay, operations director for Reed’s School, added: “We look forward to working with Sodexo to continue the evolution of the food offer to pupils, parents and staff alike.”
