Opening Days: Monday-Friday
Opening Hours 4:30-5:00pm

Tuck Shop has been very busy and successful from the start of the new school year, I like to think that is due to my management expertise but wonder if it has more to do with the yummy products we sell. As the new Director of Tuck Shop, there has been a lot to learn, but I am learning quickly and enjoying it very much.

"My role as Director means that I am responsible for ensuring that everything runs smoothly. The Tuck Team are kept very busy all week with all the activities we have to undertake:

« The shop must be well-stocked, displayed and priced
« Making sure that the shop is clean and tidy all the time
« The assistants must be trained in cash and credit handling
« The staff rota must be prepared and staff informed so that they know when they are working and are always on time
« Cash and credit sales must be calculated daily, with cash and sales figures sent through to ME Finance Department
« A Tuck Shop team meeting is held once a week.

As Director, every Friday I meet with the Sales Representative from the wholesalers (which is where the products of sweets, crisps, drinks and chocolate for the tuck shop come from). I place the weekly order and we also discuss new product lines and special offers. The order is delivered every Monday. I also sometimes telephone urgent orders and go to the wholesalers to collect the stock.

Now that the Summer break is over it is time to get back to healthy eating again. Our product range will include a range of healthy snack options including cereal bars, fresh fruit, yogurts and fresh fruits juices. As usual we will consult with students and staff to ensure we are providing the products they want. A suggestion board is also being put up in the shop. Also I would like to try and open tuck shop at weekends as well, for girls and staff who are staying in school".
