Starting in September 2026, we are pleased to be working with our new school caterer, HCL.
“HCL are dedicated school caterers with over 450 schools and decades of experience. We make delicious, nutritious meals fresh every day, with no microwaves or ready meals in sight. 60,000 children enjoy our meals every day and we have industry-leading participation in our meal service. Pupils and families love our meals and we hope it will be the same with you! HCL is a not-for-profit organisation and we reinvest our earnings back into the service, providing the best possible service, kitchen standards and menus for the fairest price possible. Our support extends to those children with specific dietary, religious or practical needs to ensure full inclusivity and help when they may need something a bit unique. We have over 700 different menus in our portfolio to ensure there is choice for all.”
How to order
Log in to www.parentpay.com to choose and book your meals. When your child starts at school, you will receive an activation letter and temporary password to set up your ParentPay account. If you need this resent, please contact your school office.
Menus
We understand some children may want to see what each menu item looks like before ordering. HCL have a photo directory of all the menu items on their website: www.hcl.co.uk/primary-menu-images
Allergies
The allergy management leaflet contains a link to the special diet application page. If your child has known food allergies, please follow the link to complete the application.
