Monty's Menus
At Claremont we believe that we play an important role in supporting the health and well-being of all of our students.
All food is prepared and cooked by our trained catering staff in state-of-the-art kitchens.
Here at Claremont High School, we aim to provide students and staff with a variety of healthy, nutritious meals that taste as good as they look and form an essential part of a balanced diet.
We offer a selection of fresh, seasonal food prepared on site, featuring modern, ethnically diverse dishes that bring a contemporary twist to traditional school meals.
Each of our menus runs for the entire term, operating on a four-week rolling cycle so that pupils can enjoy a wide range of delicious options across the term. All menus begin on Week 1 at the start of each half-term, allowing parents and carers to easily track what choices are available for their child.
Our menus clearly outline any allergens contained in our dishes, and we make every effort to accommodate pupils’ individual dietary needs. Please note, however, that while we take great care, we cannot guarantee that our menus are completely allergen-free.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and understanding as we work together to provide high-quality, healthy meals for all our pupils.
Monty’s Payments
At Claremont High School, we want to ensure every pupil can enjoy the wide range of food and drink available at Monty’s in a fair and sustainable way.
We kindly ask that all pupils have sufficient credit on their catering account before purchasing food or drink. To help manage this responsibly, we carry out weekly balance checks and notify pupils where action may be needed.
If a pupil’s account falls into debt, snack purchases at first break may be temporarily paused until their balance is brought back into credit. This helps us to keep the catering service running smoothly and fairly for everyone.
In the case of ongoing or increasing debt, we may need to contact parents or carers directly to discuss how the balance can be cleared.
Please rest assured that pupils entitled to Free School Meals (FSM) will always continue to receive their full lunchtime entitlement, regardless of account balance but in the case of any debt will not be able to buy any additional items outside of their entitlement. Details of their FSM entitlement are outlined below:
Pupils eligible for Free School Meals receive a daily allowance of £2.70, which fully covers our FSM meal deal. This allows each child to choose one main meal plus either a small drink or a dessert. While the full price list for all pupils is available on the school website, please note that the £2.70 meal deal is kept exclusively for FSM pupils to ensure they can always access a complete, nutritious lunch at no additional cost.

Meat Free Mondays!
We have introduced ‘Meat Free Mondays’ as part of the national campaign to reduce meat consumption and help increase food security in the UK and in less economically developed countries.
Cultural Tasting Days:
As part of our commitment to celebrating diversity we host cultural days whereby pupils have an opportunity to try foods from a particular country. This focus enables us to help to continue to build our inclusive community and create opportunities for pupils to experience different cultures.
