At Ash Mount School, we believe that what children eat is just as important as what they learn. Our approach to food reflects our school vision, to lead with courage, learn with purpose and act with compassion, by ensuring every meal supports wellbeing, connection and responsibility.
Our food programme is designed with care: aligned with UAE health and food safety guidelines and shaped by a deep commitment to sustainability. Meals are thoughtfully planned to nurture healthy habits, reduce food miles and carbon footprint, and celebrate seasonal, local ingredients. We offer balanced, inclusive options that are allergy-aware and free from ultra-processed foods.
Families who prefer to send packed lunches or snacks from home are encouraged to follow our healthy eating guidance. This includes wholegrains, fresh fruit and vegetables, and high-quality proteins, with no fizzy drinks, sweets, processed snacks or nut-based products. Our site is entirely nut-free and we ask that all packed items are clearly labelled and support our shared commitment to student safety and wellbeing.
Through daily choices and learning experiences, our students develop not only strong bodies and sharp minds, but also the values of thoughtful consumption and global stewardship. Food at Ash Mount is never just fuel, it’s part of how we grow together.
