Lexington Independents has signed a new partnership with Leicester High School for Girls to help enhance pupils’ wellbeing through nutritious, freshly prepared food. The caterer’s aim is to create a vibrant dining experience that fuels learning and inspires lifelong healthy and sustainable habits.
A dedicated team of five has already begun refreshing the school’s food offer, introducing new menus and home-grown concepts designed to engage pupils and create a positive food culture across the school. This includes celebrating cultural occasions, offering popular high street-style dishes, and tailoring menus and portion sizes to suit pupils at different life stages.
'Proper nourishment'
Bonnie Dankbars, operations director for Lexington Independents, said: “Central to the Lexington philosophy is the belief that it’s vital to start teaching good nutrition and healthy habits from the earliest years. Young minds need proper nourishment to learn, grow and thrive, and schools play such an important role in shaping those lifelong habits.”
Stef Shaw, bursar at Leicester High School, added: “Lexington Independents was the perfect partner for us because it understands the importance of nourishment and providing high-quality food in the school environment. We’ve already seen such a positive response to the new menu options.”
