Special dietary needs

We can cater for pupils who, because of medical reasons or religion, have special dietary needs. Children with medical dietary needs should have been referred to and met with an NHS Dietician.

If your child has special dietary needs, please inform the Head Teacher. You will be sent a Special Diet Request form which should be completed and returned to the school.
