School Meals

We are proud of our Catering Team who work hard to provide students with healthy and tasty meals which are made freshly on-site every day.

All of our catering staff are trained in food safety and hygiene.

• Our friendly catering staff are always happy to help the students with any queries they may have. We have three separate kitchens so we can always find a tasty meal so please do ask the staff to help you.
• Menu items and prices are subject to change at short notice depending on the availability of food items and increases in the costs from suppliers

• The school does not use peanuts in any of its menu items. We are fully compliant with the allergen labelling laws which came in to effect from 1^st October 2021. Further details about allergens are found here: https://www.food.gov.uk/business-guidance/introduction-to-allergen-labelling-changes-ppds  or do not hesitate to contact our catering team if you have any queries.

Paying for School Meals

There is the option of setting a Daily spend limit for any student to prevent them spending more each day than you would like them to. The limit would include any items purchased during morning break. Parents/Guardians who would like to set a limit can email the school on info@ladymanners.derbyshire.sch.uk stating the amount you would like the student to be allowed to spend each day.

Please ensure that funds are available on your ParentPay account in advance to pay for meals.

Free School Meals

Did you know that just by registering your children for Free School Meals, in addition to gaining the support yourself, the school will receive money which can then be used to help the students? Click here for more information.
