Having meals at OIS is a family experience. Meals are mostly shared outdoors, covered in winter and on rainy or very hot days but exposed to the warm sunshine when the weather allows. During inclement weather there is an indoor canteen area with a similar set up. Teachers and students gather in lively groups of around six, engaging in conversation while enjoying their meals, and staying at the table until everyone is satisfied. Students are taught to tidy up after themselves, thank kitchen staff for their meal, and wash their hands before leaving the eating area to play or return to classes.
Children are encouraged to sample a variety of foods each day to broaden their taste preferences and stimulate their developing taste senses. One day a week is meat-free (in combination with lessons explaining the impact of commercial farming and other issues) teaching children how they can access a balanced, nutritious and sustainable diet without eating meat every day. Our range of vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other special diary options ensure that all needs are catered for.
