School Catering

Olive Dining

Since April 2025, Olive Dining have been providing high-quality, nutritious meals to the students and staff at Highbury Fields School. Since partnering with the school, their onsite team has worked hard to deliver fresh, delicious food every day - using the best ingredients and always preparing meals from scratch.

They operate a rotating three-week menu remains packed with variety, offering exciting hot meals, themed dishes, and new flavours to keep lunchtime interesting. Alongside main meals, the popular cold deli bar features a colourful mix of fresh salads, as well as a wide choice of sandwiches and baguettes made daily and  a range of convenient grab-and-go snacks which are available from the pod area.

The catering team is fully trained, passionate about great food, and dedicated to offering a positive dining experience for every student. Throughout the year, they also run seasonal and themed events to bring some added fun and flavour to the school.

There are two lunch breaks each day, one for years 8 and 9 at 12.05pm - 12.50pm and a separate lunch break for Years 7, 10, 11, 12 and 13 at 12.55pm - 1.40pm.

At lunchtime, students can select a hot (meat or vegetarian) main dish and dessert for £2.85 as part of a meal deal. Every day there is also a selection of filled sandwiches, healthy snack pots or salad boxes. There is a choice of cold desserts, fruit, tray bakes and drinks.
 
Students pay for their lunches using their school lunch card. Parents need to top up these cards using the Arbor Portal. 
 
If students are eligible for free school meals, they will automatically have £2.85 added to their card each day. This money can only be spent on the hot meal deal or equivalent sandwiches and cold meal deal option. If students want to buy additional items, parents will need to top up their cards.
 
Parents can see what their daughter has eaten and check their lunch balance via the Arbor Portal.
