Who we serve

What if

School catering met every school’s needs?

At Impact Food Group, everything starts with students. From families who trust what their children eat, to schools who rely on us every day, we serve communities across the UK with food that makes a real difference.

Serving 48.6 million meals a year across 640 schools, we deliver school catering that’s student-led, trusted by schools, and designed to support wellbeing, learning and long-term positive habits.

Having worked in schools for 25 years and sampled many different catering teams, this was the best I have ever seen.

For primary schools

We know that early experiences with food matter. That’s why we partner with primary schools to deliver nutritious, appealing meals in friendly dining spaces that feel safe, positive and inclusive.

From encouraging children to try new flavours to supporting healthy habits that last a lifetime, our approach helps schools build strong foundations for wellbeing, focus and learning.

For secondary schools and sixth form

We partner with secondary schools & sixth forms to deliver high-quality, choice-led catering that students actively choose.

Through vibrant dining spaces, efficient service and student-led initiatives, including our Social Impact Fund and Something Growing projects. We help increase uptake, strengthen school community and support student wellbeing and achievement.

For independent schools

Every school has its own food story - shaped by its pupils, culture and ambitions.

We partner with independent schools to create a chef-led approach to food that evolves with students as they grow, building confidence, curiosity and a lasting appreciation of good food.

The result is a dining experience that supports wellbeing and performance.
