Healthy Eating with Lodestone House

Healthy Eating with Lodestone House

Our long-standing catering partner has rebranded from Chartwells to Lodestone House, uniting the independent school catering arms of Compass under one forward-looking brand. The name takes inspiration from lodestone, the naturally magnetic stone used in the earliest compasses, and reflects their guiding role in supporting schools and pupils alike.

Lodestone House is built on three connected pillars:

  • Garden – encouraging pupils to understand where food comes from, championing sustainability, and exploring the joys of growing their own produce.
  • Kitchen – providing fresh, nutritious meals while also equipping pupils with practical culinary skills and a love for wholesome, homemade food.
  • Classroom – embedding food education into school life, so pupils learn about nutrition and how to make informed choices for their health and the planet.

Last week, Year 1 pupils enjoyed a hands-on healthy eating workshop led by one of Lodestone House’s nutritionists. They had the chance to taste different fruits and vegetables, learn about the farm-to-fork journey, and even create their own Hungry Caterpillar snacks. The sessions encouraged our youngest pupils to develop a positive relationship with food in a fun and memorable way.

We look forward to working with Lodestone House as they continue to nourish, educate and empower our school community.
