Does your child have a special dietary requirement? Have you notified your child’s school about it?

Special diet applications should be completed when the diet is:
◾ medically prescribed eg food allergies
◾ religious or cultural reasons
◾ vegetarian or vegan

Parents/guardians/caregivers have a crucial role in providing these details to their child’s school. All special diets must be notified to the school using our Guidance for the provision of Special Diets in schools form. This form should be submitted when your child joins a school and/or starts taking school meals, or when your child is diagnosed with a medical condition or allergy/intolerance requiring an adjustment to their diet or how the food is served.

📩 Download the form: https://ow.ly/sxXt50ZFcNG

Upon receipt of the completed form for medically required diets, your school will contact you and facilitate a meeting with you, the school and the school’s catering manager. The arrangements for provision of your child’s meals will be discussed and agreed ahead of the special diet being provided.

If you haven’t previously submitted a completed application, and your child needs a special diet, you need to apply now.

“The wonderful book launch at Ulster University’s Derry~Londonderry campus was a celebration of their incredible achievement but also watching them become part of the collective potential of hopeful engagement with those who experience isolation and disconnection in their communities. We couldn't be prouder of our new 'Inspired ambassadors' Well done to all the boys and girls from St Patrick's Primary School Primary 5 classes. You have Inspired us all!”

We are incredibly proud of our wonderful P1 Teaching Assistant, Mrs Cairns, who has successfully completed her PGCE through Coventry University.
Mrs Cairns completed her teacher training here at St Patrick’s and Steelstown Primary School, and it has been a privilege to support her on this journey. Throughout her time with us, she has shown such kindness, dedication and commitment to our children, and she has been a valued member of our school family.
As she begins this exciting new chapter in her career, we wish her every success and happiness. We know she will inspire and make a real difference in the lives of so many children, just as she has here with us.
Congratulations, Mrs Cairns! We are so proud of you and wish you every blessing for the future. 🍎✨👏
