Catering
Our catering partner Alliance in Partnership – AiP, provide all student food on site. All food complies with the School Food Standards.
Please click here for the current school menu. The menu rotates 3-weekly. Please click here for the current school menu.
To buy food on site the students’ dinner money account must have been topped up and in credit. Money is added to a child’s account via the school gateway or automatically if the student is eligible for Free School Meals.
When food has been selected a biometric thumb print is used to prove the student’s identity and ensures only the account holder can purchase food from that account. The school identity cards can also be used where thumbprints have not been taken. All biometric data conforms with GDPR regulations and is stored as a numerical representation of the thumbprint.
Free School Meals.
If you think you may be eligible for free school meals, please follow the instructions after clicking this link. The school will also be notified if your child is eligible for Free School meals and in most cases, these will begin the day after we are notified.
We cannot back date free school meal eligibility. Free School Meal eligibility does not automatically follow on from Primary school. A new application must be made prior to a student starting in year 7 using the above link.
There are 3 catering outlets:
- Main dining room – open at break and lunch. Year groups enter based on a rota system at lunchtime, all hot and cold meal options are served on crockery, eaten in the dining room.
- Playroom – open at break and lunch. Cold drinks, sandwiches, baguettes, some hot grab and go at break, grab and go hot food at lunchtime. Paper plates and wooden utensils.
- VI form common room – open at break and lunch, hot and cold food for sixth form only.
A meal deal consisting of the main meal of the day and a dessert or fruit item costs £2.75. All items can also be bought separately. This is also the value of a free school meal daily credit.
Reducing plastic usage:
Drinks. We have a dispenser system for drinks. A token is purchased and used to fill the students own water bottle with the flavoured drink of their choice. Cups are available on a deposit basis and water bottles and milk cartons can still be purchased. Please ensure students’ water bottles are named.
In addition, there are cold water drinking points for refilling water bottles in the Playroom, Dining Room, Sports Hall, Design and Technology block and Sixth Form centre.
The menu is on a 3-week rotation, the current menu rotation can be seen from the link at the top of the page. There are always vegetarian and vegan options available.
Medical or Religious diets
There is always a variety of food for vegetarian and vegan diets as well as Halal meat. If your child requires a non-Halal meat choice, please ask them to speak to the Catering Manager.
Specific medical based diets can also be catered for with advance notice, for example gluten free pasta. The catering staff are available to inform children of specific ingredients, and the till system prevents food which affects allergies we have been told about being served to students in Year 7-11.
Special diet information is requested on joining the school via the medical information form, if your child develops an allergy during their time at school, please inform us via email to office@han.kevibham.org, for the attention of the first aid co-ordinator.
