Allergen Safety
At Rosebery, the safety and wellbeing of students with allergies is a priority. We are committed to creating a safe, inclusive and supportive environment where all pupils can participate fully in school life. Our approach follows the Department for Education's statutory guidance on Allergy Safety in Schools and the requirements of Natasha’s Law.
Developing independence is an important part of allergy management therefore secondary students are highly encouraged to discuss their allergen requirements with catering staff and to check allergen information regularly to help them make safe food choices.
We will support safe food choices in our school canteen by ensuring:
- There is clear allergen & ingredient labelling on all pre-packed, grab and go items (eg sandwiches, boxed salads etc) in line with Natasha’s Law.
- There is daily allergen information available at every service point. This will be in the form an accurate Allergen Matrix folder with catering staff on hand to assist students with their queries.
The Aspens Allergen Policy is linked below. If you have any further queries relating to allergens or the catering provision for students at Rosebery School, please email our Aspens Operations Manager, Keith Masson, on keith.masson@aspens-services.com copying in the school office.
How to pay for meals?
We operate a cashless system and all students pay using their fingerprint which is taken when they join the school. When an item is bought from the canteen your child’s finger is scanned and matched to the digital record. Parents must therefore ensure that their canteen account on ParentPay is topped up regularly if you wish for your child to buy food. There are no arrangements for credit and the canteen cannot take cash.
Free School Meals
Your child may be eligible to get free school meals, so please follow the link below for more information on Free School Meals and How to Apply.
