Our school meals are freshly prepared on the premises using top quality, wholesome ingredients.
Pupils eat with staff in our large airy refectory, where they are served fresh, hot, well-balanced vegetarian food alongside a daily range of salads. As good nutrition is essential to pupils’ health and wellbeing, our school meals are freshly prepared on the premises using top quality, wholesome ingredients. For example, we do not use any pre-produced sauces which may contain GM foods.
St James Schools have been at the forefront of promoting environmental-friendly practices for over four decades. The decision to create a vegetarian school in 1975 was a reflection of the belief that humans should be kind to themselves, others, and the environment to grow holistically. This philosophy remains at the core of our ethos and values.
Please note that menus may be subject to change.
The Pause
At St James, we feel it is important to introduce our pupils to stillness and allow them to discover how to be inwardly free and deeply at ease within themselves. A short period of 5-10 minutes at the beginning and middle of every day is allocated to quietude in which pupils may meditate, contemplate or simply be still – according to their own spiritual inclinations.
