Lunch, Snacks & Food Policy
At Xàbia International College we are committed to healthy eating, and that is why we entrust our lunch service to Thomas Franks, a catering provider that shares this philosophy. Their menus offer a varied and balanced selection of fresh vegetables, fruits, pulses, fish and whole grains, carefully prepared to provide everything our students need for their school day. Menus are designed so that pupils learn to make healthy life choices: we work every day to encourage them to choose and enjoy nutritious food, building habits that stay with them for life.

Packed Lunch
We are not permitted to heat the children's food. Please bring thermoses and cutlery as needed.
Snacks & Water
- All children from Nursery to Year 7 must bring 2 snacks for break times. Please try to make them healthy snacks and avoid too many sugary products — we like to encourage healthy eating as much as possible.
- PreNursery children are provided with snacks in the morning and in the afternoon (information about the PreNursery snack service will be sent separately).
- All children must bring a WATER BOTTLE with their name on it, which can be refilled at school.
No Nuts Policy
- We have a no nuts policy at school. This means that nuts, and products containing nuts, must not be brought to school.
- Please be especially vigilant and check the ingredients of your children's snacks before sending them to school. Please note that peanut butter and cocoa-hazelnut spreads are also not permitted.
