Menus

The Food Standards Agency is advising people who have a peanut allergy to avoid consuming foods that contain or may contain mustard, mustard powder or mustard flour because they may have been contaminated with peanuts. 

Catering services have consulted our suppliers, Brakes.  Although they are not supplied by the company at the centre of this issue, they are taking the extra precaution of checking the products they supply for possible contamination.

Catering services have alerted all our cooks to the products in question and they have been advised to ensure none of these products are used in any items provided to the pupils we have registered with a nut allergy until further notice.  Where possible alternative products have been advised.

We are increasing the signage in our secondary schools for pupils with nut allergies to ask our staff for advice.  We do not have a record of ALL pupils with allergies in our secondary schools as many pupils self-manage their own requirements.

If your child attends secondary school and has a nut allergy we’d ask that you make them aware to check the labelling of any pre-packaged item they may choose at school. Any pre-packaged items listed as contains or may contain mustard should be avoided by pupils with peanut/nut allergies until further notice.
