Special Diets
NYES Catering have a dedicated team who work closely, are able to provide
information, and will aid with any queries around our menus, including
special diet menus, allergens, school food standards, and nutrition.
Our catering teams work with you, and your school, to ensure that we are able to
support, where possible, with any special dietary requirements that your child may have.
The allergen procedures and policies we have in place are essential requirements
to ensure that the individual needs of pupils are safely met.
It is vital that on behalf of your child you, as their parents/carers/guardians, meet with your
school, and us, your catering team, to go through the options and variety of
nutritionally balanced meals available. This is particularly important within the
education setting, due to pupils within these settings being under 18.
As well as a focus on allergens, special diets include: intolerances, religious
and cultural requirements, and dietary choices. We work closely with our
local suppliers to ensure that we are continuously increasing the availability
of allergen-free foods, have a variety of food on offer, and utilise these where
possible to align with our core menus, and to ensure an inclusive offer.
We comply with government guidelines around food regulations for allergens and food
labelling. We provide centralised recipe and menu packs to our on-site catering teams,
which also contain a breakdown of ingredients, and the food allergens they contain.
We are proud to be working in partnership with your school, and we want to ensure your child is able to enjoy a meal with us, your
friendly catering team, and their friends at lunchtime.

Free School Meals
Free school meals are available to children whose parents are in receipt of one or more of the following benefits:
- income support
- income-based job seeker’s allowance
- income-related employment and support allowance
- child tax credit with an income of less than £16,190 and not in receipt of working tax credit
- support under part VI of the immigration and asylum act 1999
- guarantee element of state pension credit.
Where parents are entitled to working tax credit during a four week “run on” period immediately after their employment has ceased, or after they have started to work less than 16 hours per week, their children are entitled to free school meals.
Children who receive income support or income based jobseeker’s allowance in their own right are also entitled to free school meals.
Should you meet the above criteria, you can apply by using the application form in the useful downloads section.
Applications are usually processed the same day. If your child is entitled to free school meals you will receive a letter confirming the date when the meals will start. The school is also notified that your child is entitled to free school meals. In the meantime, you should continue to pay for free school meals until confirmation comes through. Schools may be able to arrange a reimbursement of any monies paid whilst your entitlement is being confirmed. If you are not entitled to free school meals you will be notified in writing.
