Insourcing vs Outsourced Catering – Which is right for your trust?

Catering is always a significant budget for schools and it’s important that it’s done right. Each school is individual and what works for one, may not work for another.

We’ve worked within the Education sector for over three decades, and we have helped thousands of state and independent schools, as well as Multi-Academy Trusts, decide whether running the catering in-house or outsourcing it to a contractor, is the best way forward for them.

Often the decision comes down to the culture of the school and how catering has traditionally been delivered, budget and the experience of the in-house team.

To help schools understand which is right for them, view this handy guide on the benefits of each approach.
