Support for special dietary requirements
Special dietary requirements can be catered for upon request.
Primary school
Medically prescribed diets
For example: allergies, diabetic (carb-counted) diets.
Complete the medically prescribed diet request form and return it to the address shown on the form.
Make sure section B is completed by a medical professional, or include a recent medical letter confirming the diagnosis and required diet.
Religious, cultural or ethical diets
Complete the online religions, cultural or ethical diets form.
Changes to dietary requirements
If your child’s dietary needs change, complete the applicable form again.
Or, complete the remove special dietary requirements form to remove dietary requirements.
Secondary school
Secondary School catering operates on a larger scale than in a primary school setting, and the choice of food on offer is far greater. It is not practical to implement the same medically prescribed dietary procedure that is applied in the primary school setting.
Pupils may need advice on which food items are suitable for consumption and should discuss their dietary needs with the Catering staff, who can check packaging and allergen matrices (for composite dishes).
Complex cases, which may need additional measures, can be discussed with the Catering team, where support will be provided.
We cannot control the food brought into the dining environment by other customers.
