Kitchen facilities
Use of kitchens is not included in any let. To use a kitchen you must
- give details of this in your application, including the times of use
- pay for a member of catering staff to be present while the kitchen is in use.
Any group that uses a kitchen without permission will be in breach of the conditions of their let. We may cancel their let.
You can access drinking water outside of kitchens in all schools.
