They provide students with a safe school environment, support their all-round development, and enable them to make the most of their school day and extracurricular programmes. Through reliable, supervised services, The English School reaffirms its commitment to quality and innovation in every aspect of the educational experience.
Food Service
Proper nutrition is essential for maximising students’ potential
That is why we offer a balanced and nutritious meal service, designed to support both their cognitive and physical needs.
Our menus are approved by the school’s nutritionist and the Healthy Eating Committee, and supervised by the Cafeteria Coordination Team, ensuring that they contribute to our students’ well-being and academic success. This approach reinforces our commitment to a school environment that promotes health, learning and the development of responsible habits.
Lunch
Recognising the importance of a healthy diet for our students’ well-being and performance, we work closely with Sapore, a company with a proven track record in catering services. Their nutritious and delicious menus offer a variety of options to suit different tastes and dietary requirements, contributing to the growth and development of every student.
- Lunch schedule: 11:00 a.m. to 2:40 p.m., depending on the section.

This balanced diet not only helps students concentrate in class, but also provides them with the energy they need to participate enthusiastically in their extracurricular activities and benefit from our diverse and innovative programmes.

TES Bites: school store
TES Bites is our school store dedicated to offering healthy and delicious food. Located in the heart of the campus, it provides Primary and Secondary students with options including fresh fruit, nutritious sandwiches and low-sugar snacks. It offers a range of benefits:
- Quick access to balanced meals that improve concentration and performance.

- Creating a space for people to meet and socialise, strengthening the sense of community.
- A commitment to sustainability through the use of biodegradable packaging and recycling practices.
Students can pay in cash or using their student card, which is linked to the PayGo system, allowing parents to top up the balance and keep a detailed record of their children’s purchases.
Vending machines
For your convenience, the school has vending machines selling snacks and drinks. Located in the Primary and Secondary buildings and in the Coliseum, they accept cash, credit and debit cards, as well as QR codes. This option is particularly useful during short breaks, allowing students to top up their energy levels quickly.
Transport Service
Designed to ensure a safe and reliable service
This service covers key areas such as Bogotá, Chía, La Calera, Cajicá, Cota and Briceño, ensuring that every student is transported efficiently and in comfort, allowing them to focus on their studies.
To maintain the highest standards, we work with external companies that strictly comply with safety regulations. Each bus is accompanied by a supervisor, employed directly by the school, whose role is to ensure the safety and comfort of the students during the journey and to immediately notify the school of any issues via a mobile phone designated specifically for this purpose.
Technology and Service Modalities
We use the OnTrack app, which allows parents to track routes in real time, view pick-up and drop-off times, and set their preferences for personalised monitoring. In addition, we have a customer service team on hand from 5:30 a.m. until the last student returns home, ensuring a responsive service tailored to the needs of our school community.

Health Care Area
Comprehensive well-being and care for our students
We are one of the first schools in Bogotá to have a Health Care Area accredited by the District Health Secretariat, enabling us to provide general medical and nursing services efficiently and promptly. Through this initiative, we are reinforcing our commitment to maintaining a safe and healthy school environment, giving students the peace of mind that comes with access to minor medical care and first aid, which supports their optimal academic and personal development.
Our team consists of a doctor, a head nurse and two nursing assistants. The school is also a cardiac-safe zone, as it has three automated external defibrillators (AEDs) located at strategic points.
