More About Innovate

Innovate Catering Service

Free School Meals

Your child might be entitled to Free School Meals. Gloucestershire County Council's Access to Learning Team has launched a new portal to enable parents/guardians to apply online for Free School Meals. across the county. The value of a Free School Meal is £2.95.

Special diets and food allergens

Don’t think that your child can’t enjoy our great food if they have a special diet – they are an important part of our catering service. We can provide food if they have an intolerance, an allergy, or require an alternative choice due to religious beliefs.

Legislation requires caterers to provide allergen information on food sold that is served ‘unpackaged’. Innovate already cater for lots of children with allergies and we regularly check the information from suppliers to see if there have been any ingredient changes. It is still important that our customers talk to us so we can work together and continue to provide meals that are safe for them to eat.
