A key question asked this week is, What does catering now signal about culture, quality and the day-to-day school experience?
This week’s ISBA Bursarcast opens with the key operational and regulatory developments for the sector this week, including updated Independent School Standards Regulations on restrictive interventions, refreshed Independent Schools Standards Guidance, and sharper inspection expectations around behaviour policy, mobile phones and implementation on the ground.
We also look at the wider compliance picture for schools, including the DfE consultation on supporting children with medical conditions and allergy, plus practical reminders on Renters’ Rights, teachers’ pensions re-enrolment, and current health and safety developments.
Then, in our guest segment, we are joined by Scott and Robin from sector-leading independent school caterers Holroyd Howe, ahead of the ISBA Annual Conference at ICC Wales, where Holroyd Howe will be one of the headline sponsors. In a wide-ranging discussion, we explore the impact of catering on the school experience for pupils, parents and staff, what best practice looks like, and where school catering may be heading next. Whether your school caters in-house or works with a specialist provider, there are useful takeaways across the school community.
