Management

Our school canteen is:-

• Run by the school parent committee.
• Staffed by volunteers.
• Operated by an external food service called ‘Lunch Box’.

All items on our school lunch menu are nut free, although it is important to note that Lunch Box operates in a kitchen that contains nuts for their retail sector; therefore there is no guarantee that there will be no trace of nuts. However, they follow strict measures to prevent any cross contamination where possible.
