THREE TOWERS ACADEMY ALTERATIVE PROVISION (Ar) food hygiene rating
School/college/university · Wigan
THREE TOWERS ACADEMY ALTERATIVE PROVISION (Ar) holds a 4, meaning hygiene standards at the school kitchen are good. It is a solid result, the inspector found nothing serious, though a 5 was just out of reach.
The rating: 4 - Good
The rating dates from 4 November 2015, more than 10 years ago. A lot can change in a kitchen in that time, and a rating this old says more about the business then than now. Councils prioritise re-inspecting higher-risk premises, so a long gap often means the business is considered low-risk.
