From 1st April 2026, our school meals will be provided by Aspens Services. Aspens will be replacing Sefton Catering at Merefield School.

We are pleased to share that our school cook, Claire McCarthy, will be continuing her role at the school. Because Claire is already so familiar with our pupils’ specific dietary needs and works hard to accommodate them every day, we expect this transition to be seamless.

A Message from Aspens:
“We are Aspens Services, a market-leading contract catering company specialising in school food. Because we work exclusively in the education sector, we understand our customers’ needs. Mixing this knowledge with an understanding of what’s ‘hot’ in the food world sparks creativity and excitement in our chefs. Our kitchens provide delicious home-cooked food each day while catering for individual dietary requirements.
