Special Dietary Requirements

Coming to school and feeling safe to eat with their friends is something every pupil should be able to enjoy, and something parents should feel reassured of. That’s why we run a stringent medical diet process in all our schools.

This process is supported by robust policies, procedures and a wide range of medical diet menus that replicate the school menu so children with food allergies and intolerances feel safe and included with their friends whilst eating school meals.

For a copy of the Chartwells Medical Diet Policy please contact chartwells.medicaldiets@compass-group.co.uk.

For pupils with health-based diets, allergies or intolerances, we’ll start by asking parents or guardians to complete a Medical Diet Request Form.

This form is then reviewed by one of our nutritionists or special diet coordinators, who checks for discrepancies and then decides which of our medical diet menus will suit the pupil.

We offer two medical diet menus – Allergen Aware and Bespoke. Our Allergen Aware menu is free from the majority of the 14 legal allergens and is aligned closely with the school’s main menu, so the pupil doesn’t feel isolated at mealtimes. If a pupil has allergies that sit outside the 14 legal allergens, we’ll offer our Bespoke menu that’s tailored to their individual needs.
