We have recently produced a Whole School Food Policy which has been circulated to all students, staff and parents via the headteacher’s weekly newsletter. If you have any suggestions or comments on this document, we would be pleased to hear them – please contact Lorraine Chatburn, our Business Manager or Liz Howe, our Catering Manager on 0161-368 1353.

We are proud to announce that, thanks to the hard work of our dedicated
catering team, led by our Catering Manager, Liz Howe, Hyde Technology School
has achieved the following awards this academic year:
Tameside Healthy Choice GOLD Award (November 05)
Tameside Food Safety Award (January 06)

We are currently striving for the National Healthy Schools Status and will be
assessed for this very high standard before the end of term. We’ll
keep you posted!!
Milk Bar
Our new ‘Milk Bar’ has proved to be an attractive and popular alternative to the hot food counter. Students and staff can choose from a wide variety of healthy and filling sandwiches and wraps and many are choosing to ‘wash them down’ with a delicious milkshake.
Government’s new food-based standards for school lunches
The Government has announced new standards for food in schools. There are three parts, to be phased in by September 2009 and cover all food served in schools: breakfast, morning break, lunch and after school, tuck shops, vending and out-of-school-hours clubs. We are well on our way to meeting these standards and will be addressing the few areas not yet covered by September this year.
