Medically Prescribed Dietary Requirement
Does your primary age child have a food allergy/intolerance or a medical condition, which would require them to need a Medically Prescribed Diet? If so, Catering Services has an online facility where a medically prescribed diet can be requested. Register a medically prescribed dietary requirement.
Please note: We procure food that is absent of nuts as a declared ingredient. However, even with proactive cross contamination control measures, multiple handling processes in the supply chain do present the potential for trace ingredients to remain present. We cannot control the food brought into the Dining environment by other customers.
A residual risk remains that food provided by RCT Catering Services ‘may contain traces of nuts and nut derivatives’, and customers who have a nut allergy should consider the risk before purchasing/consuming any food.
Universal Primary Free School Meals
In September 2022, a Co-operation Agreement was forged between the Welsh Government and Plaid Cymru to rollout Universal Primary Free School Meals (UPFSM) to all Primary pupils by September 2024. The roll out was completed in Rhondda Cynon Taf in April 2024, ahead of the Welsh Government deadline of September 2024. All pupils, including Nursery pupils in full time education, are now entitled to receive a free nutritious meal every day they attend school. Part-time Nursery pupils are not entitled to a UPFSM. However, some settings may offer a lunch provision, but this meal is payable by the parent/carer via the online payment portal.
