Ordering

Our school uses School Grid as a means for parents and carers to view the menu and pay for their child's chosen meals electronically. Children are able to choose their meals at home or at the beginning of each school day. 

Free School Meals

Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2

Free School Meals are available for every child in the UK in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2.

This means that if your child is in one of these year groups they are entitled to a delicious healthy meal free of charge every lunchtime

There are lots of tasty options to choose from and should you child have a specific dietary requirement, this can be organised with the school chef.

Children in Years 3 to 6

Your child may continue to be entitled to nutritious free school meals beyond Year 2, dependant on whether families are in receipt of specific benefits as outlined by the Department of Education.

Allergies & Medical Diets

Please note, we are a nut free school; we cannot allow any nuts on site due to severe allergies.

Innovate understand the importance of ensuring that pupils with allergies and medical diets can continue to enjoy a safe, balanced meal alongside their peers in school. 

If your child has an allergen or a special dietary requirement, please complete the online form using the link below. It is important that requested medical documentation and photo ID is included within the submission.

Pupil Allergen Form 

Once information has been received by Innovate, a member of their team will make contact to agree a suitable menu for your child and to share allergen details with the school catering team.

Allergen Buddies are dedicated members of the catering team who are available every day at the food counter to provide allergen information and help ensure children receive the right meals safely. They’re easy to spot in their purple hat and apron, so students know exactly who to ask for help. If they have a question about the menu or ingredients, our Allergen Buddies are always there to help.
