A Rocester school has won a major national catering award for the fourth year running, in recognition of its exceptional standards.
Abbotsholme School scooped a Gold CAP Award for its catering service and the food on offer to pupils.
The CAP (Continuous Advancement Programme) Awards recognise excellence in catering and are regarded as the highest measure of quality, safe best practices and service.
Headmaster Steve Fairclough, praised the catering team for their fourth consecutive win.
He said: “Winning a Gold CAP Award once is a great achievement but to do it four times is outstanding and proves that we are committed to a culture of continued excellence at Abbotsholme.
“Well done to all the catering staff. The work they do, day in day out is absolutely key to the success of the entire school.”
CAP Awards inspector Ian Jackson said the food on offer to pupils at the boarding school was of the very highest standard.
He said: “Abbotsholme are worthy winners of a Gold Cap Award.
“During the inspection we saw a superb range of food on the menu, including a very delicious cauliflower tart and blackcurrant cheesecake.
“Crucially there was also good boarder pupil feedback on the food so the catering staff could be confident they were creating what the school enjoyed.”
The school was also praised for continuing to invest in the catering facilities and for top ratings from the Environmental Health Officer, including positive feedback from the recent regulatory Boarding Inspection.
The 350-pupil School (which now includes a Pre-Prep school for ages 2-4) has also recently invested in improving the dining room and servery.
