The Mission

  • To ensure pupils and staff receive nutritious, fresh, local and organic food at lunch and throughout the school day and that this food is delicious, seasonal, affordable and safe.
  • To create an enjoyable and sociable dining experience for students in school and a lively food culture within the school and the wider community.
  • To give pupils and the wider community the opportunity to acquire basic skills in planning, preparing and cooking healthy meals and an understanding of basic hygiene.
  • To provide opportunities for pupils to eat and cook with vegetables that they have grown themselves.

Café @ the Track 

Spring Hall is home to Cafe@TheTrack, a vocational training and work experience facility which aims to furnish students with the skills and qualifications required to pursue a career in the catering and hospitality industry, should that be something they are interested in.

Our Suppliers 

The Catering Team at Ravenscliffe are committed to providing healthy, tasty, sustainable and ethical meals for the Ravenscliffe Community. As part of this pledge, we only use local, sustainable food producers. We feel that using local suppliers ensures the long term sustainability of food production, and also has a positive financial impact on the local economy. Where possible we always try to source local or at least British produce. Moreover, all meat used in school is of the highest quality and meets stringent animal welfare standards.

Showcasing good practice and incredible school meals at Ravenscliffe High School, Halifax

We're excited to introduce more lentils and pulses into our upcoming menus. These wholesome ingredients are a great source of protein, fibre and essential nutrients, helping to support healthy growth and wellbeing. As well as being nutritious, they are incredibly versatile and can be blended into familiar favourites such as pasta sauces, soups, curries and casseroles, adding goodness without compromising on taste. Including more lentils and pulses also helps us create meals that are both sustainable and affordable, while encouraging children to enjoy a wider variety of foods. ...

Working closely with our suppliers, we are proactively preparing for the anticipated School Food Standards developments expected by September 2028 by increasing the use of high-fibre ingredients and pulse-based products across our menus. By incorporating more lentils, beans, chickpeas and wholegrain foods into recipes, we can enhance nutritional value, support digestive health, improve satiety and provide a more sustainable source of protein for our pupils. Through collaboration with trusted local suppliers and producers, we will be able to source quality ingredients, develop innovative recipes and ensure a smooth transition that meets future standards while continuing to deliver nutritious, appealing and inclusive meals for all students, including those with specialist dietary requirements.
