Medically Identified Special Diets

Does your child need a medical special diet to eat lunch at school?

Innovate has a dedicated special diet team that supports parents with special diet queries for their child. They create menus for children who are registered with them as having a food allergy or intolerance and who want to have a school meal.

Whilst we want all children to enjoy eating lunch at school, special diets are not provided for pupils who have a dislike of certain food. That’s why they require medical evidence that confirms your child’s medical allergy or intolerance. Innovate then work with a dietitian to produce specific diets to ensure food is suitable. Products used in these diets are never substituted.

If your child is due to start school in September, you should register for a special diet menu by 16th June. Simply email adminoffice@harrison.hants.sch.uk and upload your medical evidence.

For parents with children already at school who require a medical special diet, please email adminoffice@harrison.hants.sch.uk and upload your medical evidence. Please note there is a 10-day turnaround.

In either case, parents will need to supply a packed lunch until their child's menu is available.

Once you have created your account, Innovate will be able to review your medical evidence with their in-house nutritionist in order to devise an adapted menu for your child's school lunch.

If you have any queries please contact the Harrison team on 01329 234016, or email adminoffice@harrison.hants.sch.uk and one of the team will be happy to help you during office hours.
