School Dinner Menu for children with Food Allergies: Autumn 2026

Miquill have a commitment in making sure every child is fed safely. They have been working on developing their response to Benedict’s Law and as a result have issued an Allergy Free Menu.

The Allergy Free Menu is a menu that has been developed for all children who have a food allergy linked to one or more of the main 14 food allergens.

Children with nut allergies only, will still be able to be on the core menu even though nuts are in the main 14 food allergen list. This is because Miquill run nut free kitchens and none of the recipes or products contain nuts, so the menu is safe for those children.

If a child has an allergen outside of the main 14 food allergens, Miquill will need to request a bespoke menu to be made – parents start this process by completing the alternative menu request form (available from Mrs Griggs or Mrs Strellis in the school office) and providing medical evidence.

The options for each day are as stated on the menu only.

This menu has been sent out on paper to all children who Miquill say are eligible for it. If you think that your child might be eligible for the Allergy Free Menu, please see Mrs Griggs or Mrs Brown
