School Dinner menu from November 2023 
Our school kitchen provides separate meals and menus for children with prescribed medical diets, food allergies as well as cultural diets. 

Please note, we are a nut-free school. As we have children in school with nut allergies, we ask that any child bringing a packed lunch, does not bring any nut products with them. 

If you have a child with an allergy, you will have already met with Mrs Elder, our Inclusion Manager, and the catering team, and your child will have an Individual Health Care Plan  (IHCP) in place but please let us know if you have any further concerns.

MEDICAL DIETS

My child needs a special diet, can they still have a school lunch? With a wide variety of foods provided, we are able to cater for a range of different tastes. We can cater for children with prescribed medical diets, formally diagnosed food allergies as well as cultural diets. In order to ensure that we provide meals that meet with your child’s needs, we will need to meet with parent/carers/dieticians to discuss individual requirements.
