Supplier Vetting and Auditing

Trinity School has a rigorous and thorough supplier audit procedure that ensures quality, consistency and safety of products. All suppliers must satisfy our External Audit criteria and are inspected, at least once a year, to ensure that their HACCP procedures and Safety Standards are adhered to. The Audit covers primary issues of due diligence and product history as well as environmental and ethical criteria. Companies wishing to tender for the supply of goods can find further details and Audit Documentation by contacting the Catering Office.

Evaluation

An ongoing programme of research and evaluation seeks both pupil and teacher opinions of the food and service we provide. Representatives from the Board of Governors, The School Council and The Catering Committee in conjunction with boarding representatives provide feedback to enable further development and expansion of our food offer.
