High quality is one of the cornerstones of our approach and this is of paramount importance for our school catering. JPL ensure that high standards of not only quality but also health and safety are maintained in the delivery of all our services. This is implemented through regular quality control checks and monitoring, strict adherence to all health and safety legislation and in-depth training for every staff member on all aspects of safety and quality.

JPL Catering is acutely aware of the need to maintain high levels of safety for children; both in terms of safe food preparation and allergy awareness, as well as with regard to safeguarding considerations. Our safeguarding policy and training is carefully imparted to all staff members and this is complimented by responsible recruitment, including full DBS certification.
JPL also take a proactive approach towards allergy awareness and management. We maintain full allergy awareness information on all our sites, as well as meticulously cross-checking all our dishes across the 14 major allergen ingredients and a having a dedicated member of staff working alongside the Head Chef to ensure awareness of all allergies and dietary requirements. For specific requirements, we implement additional measures for support and reassurance, such as meeting with parents and students to plan suitable meals
JPL is fully supportive of each individual school’s ethos and approach to learning and we work with you to ensure it can be reflected in our catering provision. JPL can assist in all aspects, such as designing kitchen and dining areas to create specific eating cultures, to maintaining optimal levels of food satisfaction amongst students and staff. We have also proven effective in communicating with interested parties such as parents and governors, about how our service reflects positively on the school overall. Our aim is to be a valuable member of the school’s team and enhance all aspects of the school reputation and experience.
