Horizon Academy Trust, based at Biggin Hill Primary School in Bransholme, has announced changes in its school meals provision, with rising costs prompting the move. ‌The Trust operates a chain of schools in the region including Biggin Hill Primary Academy, Cleeve Primary School, Spring Cottage Primary School, Thanet Primary School, East Park Primary School, Hedon Primary School, Bilton Primary School, Martongate Primary School and Bay Primary School. From September, Biggin Hill Primary School will also cook meals for Hedon, Cleeve and Bilton pupils, while other schools will remain as they are are. We think our kitchen staff are amazing and we thank them for their hard work. This has helped influence Government thinking on school food over the past couple of decades and informs what the current Government is doing with the roll-out of school breakfast clubs.
