Special diets

We can provide special diets for pupils with allergies who want to have a school lunch. Special diets are provided for pupils with a medical problem, not just a dislike of certain food. Medical evidence confirming the child's allergy will be required. Visit our special diets page to find out more.

If for religious, cultural or lifestyle reasons you wish your child to have either a pork free, beef free, egg free, pork and beef free or vegan menu, please speak with your school who can request the appropriate menu from our Food Development team.
