Winners of this year’s catering award at the Education Business magazine, the Barlow RC High RC High school’s catering team undergoes continuous improvement and training, including NVQs in food preparation and cooking. Students particularly enjoy the breakfast service and the new noodle and rice boxes, which are packed with vegetables and come in recyclable containers. Catering manager Joanne Murray won 'Secondary School Caterer of the Year' at the 2016 EDUcatering Excellence Awards and the catering provision has been recognised by Manchester City Council, with nominations for the award of ‘team of the year’.
