School Meals

The catering department here at St Hilda’s provides an interesting, tasty, nutritional hot and cold menu within educational authority Healthy Eating guidelines; we also hold a 5 star food hygiene rating. Ingredients are sourced locally whenever possible and seasonal specialities included to add variety.  

If your child has a specific dietary requirement then please let us know so that we can add their information to our records and work with you to cater for their specific needs.  All catering staff have received training to enable them to deal with any allergen requests and all allergen information is available if required.

We provide a welcoming space for those pupils who wish to bring packed lunches with guidance below: 

• Packed lunches should be based around high fibre foods to provide sufficient energy to maintain concentration throughout the whole school day, e.g. bread pasta etc.
  • Packed lunches should encourage students to have 5 portions of fruit and vegetables per day.
  • High sugar, high fat and high salt products should not be included e.g. crisps or salted nuts.
  • Confectionery should not be included e.g. chocolate bars, chocolate coated products, sweets or cereal bars.
  • Cakes or biscuits not containing confectionery can be included as part of a balanced meal.
  • Low fat milk, pure fruit juice (not more than 150ml), vegetable juice, yoghurt drinks or flavoured milks.
