We have taken a selection of the ideas and suggestions from your presentations and put them together on this page so you can see what your fellow pupils said. Scroll down this page and look at the galleries to see what you all told us.

BRANDING AND MARKETING SUGGESTIONS
You came up with a range of interesting ideas for logos. Some of you wanted to show that this is the BGGS food offer whilst other groups wanted to created a more corporate/non-school brand. Images of animals appear in several groups' work, as do graphics of food items, slogans and clever artwork.
We've taken some of your ideas and tweaked the colours or the layout to see how pencil drawings might work in colour or how sketches could begin to be worked up into commercial ideas. None of these are finished items - together they form a 'mood board' we can share with potential caterers to get them thinking about what our pupils want.
DESIGN SUGGESTIONS
Getting agreement about which colours to use in any redecoration might be difficult; you all made very different suggestions about which colour schemes you prefer. We have included a selection of colour schemes and comments here.
There are some very sensible suggestions about the type of furniture we should try an include along with thoughts on how to make the layout of the hall and the Sixth Form café more welcoming.

GENERAL COMMENTS ABOUT HOW TO IMPROVE CATERING
In your presentations, you made lots of proposals to create a catering service for BGGS which would attract students and make pupils and staff feel proud to be part of this school. In doing so, you also commented on ways in which the food here needs to improve.
Your teachers and other staff who saw your presentations were impressed by all the good ideas and the thoughtful comments.
MENU IDEAS
Finally, we aske you to suggest types of food which would appeal to your fellow pupils - and you responded with sample menus, recipes and ideas for meals which you think would work well here at BGGS.
As you look at these, remember that we are trying to improve the food on offer so that all our pupils a) choose to eat in school during the day and b) spend more per person so we can keep the overall price of food low.
