Driving education excellence in Hull, the Constellation Trust consists of ten schools which work together and employ a ‘child centred’ philosophy to achieve the best outcomes for the city’s young people. The trust is made up of seven primary schools with nurseries, two secondary schools and an alternative provision school – Rise Academy.
About the Constellation Trust
Forward-thinking and innovative, they offer the best learning and development opportunities for pupils. While each school has its own identity and works independently to look after the needs of its community, they all benefit from the central support services provided by the Trust and by working in partnership with the other schools to share best practice.
The ten schools also benefit from Head of Catering James Pickering who orchestrates the Trust’s catering and menus to ensure the offering is as exciting and inviting as it is healthy and nutritious.
“We understand that food plays a crucial role in our pupils’ development,” says James. “The right food can provide the energy, sustenance and nutrients they need to grow, learn and succeed. A bad diet can slow progression and lead to bad habits and even health issues later in life. Healthy doesn’t mean boring though, so our menus are carefully created and cooked from scratch daily to offer a wide selection of exciting hot and cold food from across the globe. This Japanese Katsu Chicken Curry recipe is a fantastic example of this. It’s a big favourite across our schools.”
