School Menu
Education Catering
- Education Catering have notified the school management team, from the 6th of January 2025, a contingency school lunch menu will be available. This is due to the Head of Kitchen leaving, the decision to move to a contingency menu is only taken when all alternatives have been explored.
- There are challenges within the area with recruitment and staff absence, this menu ensures a hot meal can be prepared and provided on site safely while a head of kitchen is not in position.
- Education Catering are recruiting for a Head of Kitchen and once this position has been filled, we will return to the full primary menu.
- Education Catering is proposing to close the catering service by 31st March 2026, currently we are in consultation with Hampshire Schools with potential options to meet future catering requirements.
- There will be further information regarding the consultation outcome in due course and we will update you accordingly.
Please see below for the contingency menu.
Special Dietary Requirements
Does your child need a medical special diet to eat lunch at school? If so, you need to create an account to register your child for a medical special diet.
Once you have created your account, we will be able to review your medical evidence with our NHS dietician in order to devise an adapted menu for your child's school lunch.
Living with allergies comes with its own set of rules so when it comes to food, as education caterers, we want to make this as easy as possible for you as a family. Our staff are trained in food safety and regularly update their skills on allergens. We never underestimate the dangers of food allergies and intolerances and that's why we work hard to get it right.
