Our Values

At ASSET our core values have always been Excellence, Equity, Empowerment, and Engagement.

We want to provide an excellent education and that includes an excellent food education and excellent food that is nourishing, tasty and creates a learning opportunity in its own right.

We value equity because we value diversity - we are all unique, have different needs and everyone deserves to thrive. We aim for an inclusive food offer that enables all children to enjoy a delicious meal with their friends regardless of allergies and medical needs, sensory needs, religion and lifestye choices and past experiences of food.

We believe that a varied and nutritious diet empowers children, not only through good health, but by opening doors to broader social and cultural experiences. We want our children to be able to sit at any table and enjoy a meal with confidence, curiosity and joy.

And we want children to really engage with food - to understand it's importance in their good health, longevity and social interactions. We believe a good food education alongside a lunchtime experience that builds on that education is a powerful tool for a happy life. And food can be fun!
