HC3S, Your Award-Winning School Caterer

Our school meals are provided by HC3S, who have over 30 years of school catering experience. They provide our children with tasty, freshly cooked, nutritious dishes, which help give your children the energy to stay active throughout the school day. As part of a balanced diet, the lunches provide a third of a child’s daily calorie intake, to aid concentration levels and give them energy to focus and to play. Please see the current menu below. 

Special Medical Diets

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.

Please ensure that the school office are aware of all allegories and dietary requirements when completing your child's medical registration. Should your child develop an allergy during the school year, please don't hesitate to get in touch and the admin team will assist you.
