St John’s Beaumont School Partners with Wilson Vale to Enhance Pupil Dining

Contract caterer Wilson Vale is delighted to announce a new catering partnership with St John’s Beaumont School, a historic preparatory school in Old Windsor renowned for its long-standing educational excellence.

Founded in 1888, St John’s Beaumont has built an impressive reputation over more than 135 years for combining tradition with a modern and ambitious approach to education. Set within approximately 50 acres of woodland and playing fields on the edge of Windsor Great Park, the school provides an inspiring setting for pupils aged three to thirteen to learn, grow and thrive.

The school is widely recognised for preparing pupils for entry to some of the country’s most prestigious senior schools, including Eton College, Harrow School, Wellington College and Winchester College, reflecting the strength of its academic standards, pastoral care and commitment to developing confident, well-rounded young people.

The partnership with Wilson Vale will see the delivery of fresh, nutritious and imaginative menus for pupils, staff and visitors. Known for its chef-led approach and commitment to quality ingredients, Wilson Vale will work closely with the school community to create a dining experience that supports pupils’ wellbeing and complements the school’s values.

Both organisations share a strong commitment to nurturing young people and creating environments where individuals can thrive. St John’s Beaumont emphasises compassion, resilience and confidence in its pupils, while Wilson Vale places people, care and quality at the heart of its service delivery.

Headmaster of St John’s Beaumont, Philip Barr, said:
“We are delighted to welcome Wilson Vale to our school community. Their chef-led approach and clear commitment to quality dining aligns closely with our ethos of providing the very best environment for our pupils. Mealtimes are an important part of the school day, and we are excited to work together to ensure they are both nutritious and enjoyable for our children.”

Phil Hindmarch, Operations Managing Director of Wilson Vale, added:
“St John’s Beaumont is a remarkable school with a clear vision for the care and wellbeing of their pupils. The school has a wonderful sense of community and values the tailored support, collaboration and dedicated time and resource our team can provide. We are excited to be able to elevate the dining experience and play a positive part in daily school life.”

The partnership marks an exciting new chapter for both organisations, bringing together Wilson Vale’s expertise in independent school catering with St John’s Beaumont’s longstanding commitment to excellence in education.
