Frequently asked questions:
How does my child register for the Food in Schools Programme?
When students enrol for the first time, parents are asked if they would like their child apart of the programme.
If your child has been off the programme, simply contact the School Office to put them back on. This can take 3-4 working days e.g. contract agreement.
How do I remove my child from the Food in Schools Programme?
Contact the School Office directly to remove your child from the programme.
Can my child pick and choose what they have?
If they do not have any dietary requirements or food allergies, they are able to choose between a hot or cold lunch option. If they have dietary requirements or food allergies they are unable to choose a hot or cold option. See the menu above.
My child has a food allergy or religious food requirements, can they still be involved in the programme?
Yes, we can inform the supplier of your child’s needs. They are also labelled for your child.
