Primary Schools

Flourish Schools provides hot school meals to primary schools across Jersey through a structured, standards led service delivered on behalf of the Government of Jersey. Our focus is on providing balanced, freshly prepared meals that are reliable, safe and suited to the primary school day.

Providing hot meals supports consistency, reduces reliance on packed lunches and helps ensure children receive a balanced meal each school day.

All meals are cooked fresh each day in our central kitchen in St Martin’s and delivered hot to schools, ready for service. This approach allows us to maintain consistent quality, food safety controls and portioning across all sites.

Menus operate on a planned cycle and include daily vegetarian options. Meals are structured to provide energy for learning and play, while fitting smoothly into the routines of the school day.

Food is prepared, transported and served within strict food safety controls. Trained catering staff manage service calmly and efficiently on site, with clear allergen management and hygiene procedures embedded into daily operations.

By working closely with Public Health and schools, we ensure menus remain practical, compliant and responsive, supporting healthier eating habits while providing reassurance to families.

What children can expect

Children can expect a warm, freshly prepared meal each school day, served in a calm and supportive environment. Menus are designed to be familiar and enjoyable, helping children feel confident at lunchtime while encouraging variety across the week. Vegetarian options are available daily, and meals are suited to the pace and routines of the primary school day.

Menus, nutrition and Public Health

Primary school menus are developed in line with School Food Standards and in close collaboration with Public Health dietitians. This ensures meals are balanced, age appropriate and supportive of children’s growth and development. Menus operate on a planned cycle to provide consistency for children while offering a range of meals over time.

Ingredients and care

We use trusted suppliers and quality ingredients chosen for safety, consistency and suitability for younger children. Meals are prepared and served within strict food safety controls, with trained staff on site to ensure a smooth and positive lunchtime experience.
