A secondary school in Dorset is the first in the UK to install training
workstations in its commercial kitchen to train students.
Carford Group worked alongside Carter Community Sports College in Poole
to design and install the kitchen with new cooking equipment, cold
room, dishwasher and bespoke stainless steel tabling and sinks
alongside existing equipment.

The school formerly used contract caterers for its school meals but has
now employed its own chef/catering manager, Paul Wallington, and
introduced all-new healthy eating menus.
Carford Group also fitted the kitchen with ten individual training
workstations for students to gain career-based NVQs in food preparation
and cooking.
Students will start at the workstations and then progress to help
producing the main school meals.
The £60,000 refit - which has revamped the dining experience for staff
and students alike - was achieved in conjunction with Bournemouth &
Poole College and a grant from the Learning Skills Council.
Now the school can offer NVQs as a satellite site for the college,
which will provide lecturers and assessors. After leaving school the
students can attend the college for further career training. |
