Knightsbridge School

Education • London

The Client

Knightsbridge School is an esteemed co-educational day school serving students aged 3-16, located in the prestigious area of central London.

The Challenge

Knightsbridge School faced challenges with its previous catering arrangements, including a lack of support for the school and staff, and an inflexible supply chain unable to meet the demands of its discerning parent community. The school sought a catering partner aligned with its ethos and capable of delivering fresh, nutritious meals while accommodating specialised dietary needs.

OUR APPROACH

In August 2023, Thomas Franks revamped the catering with a chef-led focus, prioritising fresh, nutritious meals in collaboration with family suppliers. Our initiatives like meat-free Mondays, low-sugar, low-salt menus, and snacks throughout the day cater to diverse preferences. Specially tailored menus, guided by a parent group, enhance community engagement. Olivia, our Nutritionist, hosts informative sessions, deepening understanding of our nutrition approach. Charity initiatives like Feeding Communities underscore our commitment. The upcoming biodigester installation aligns with the school’s ESG agenda, promoting sustainability. Hospitality events, like Oktoberfest Street parties, celebrate the school’s culture and engage stakeholders.

RESULTS

Our partnership with Knightsbridge School has yielded transformative results, enhancing the dining experience and fostering a sense of community. The introduction of fresh, nutritious meals and tailored menus has resonated with students, parents, and staff alike. The retention of the entire team underscores their engagement and enthusiasm for our support. Charity initiatives and sustainability efforts demonstrate our shared commitment to social responsibility and environmental stewardship.
