Cucina are a proudly chef-led business, food is in our DNA, meaning we have the skills to make all of our food on site and from scratch. We use a range of local and national suppliers from which all fish is MSC certified, all coffee is Fairtrade, all eggs and mayonnaise are free-range, 90% of our fruit and vegetables are grown in the UK and the vast majority of our meat is Red Tractor accredited. Unless it's responsible, you won't find it in our kitchens. Our menus are full of goodness and nutrition and we love educating students that healthy food is delicious, through a wide variety of tasty dishes that students love to eat. As part of creating a positive social impact, we are committed to looking after our environment. Our vision and values are entirely aligned to working with our schools to create a positive food culture and a commitment to brilliant fod, genuine partnership, and impassioned service.

I really enjoy working at CHS because of its strong sense of community and the supportive environment that allows both staff and students to thrive. For the students I teach, I want them to feel confident, curious, and empowered to take on challenges—both in the classroom and beyond.

I really like being a CHS student. Since joining in Year 7, I have made connections with many classmates and teachers too. Going into GCSE years, all my teachers have been extremely supportive and have fully explained all my wide options choices. I can now go in with full confidence that I can pass.

I really enjoy Chertsey High School, and I really think it is a welcoming school. I enjoy learning new subjects every day and all the staff are extremely kind and supportive if you don’t understand something in class. This is an amazing school altogether.

I like the school because I enjoy the lessons especially art and drama because I can be creative and I can express myself. I also like doing the school musical each year because it’s something different to do and I get to learn new skills that I can use in future.
