School Meals
​​
At Romsey Abbey School our meals are provided by The Gateway Trust. All children in Years R, 1 and 2 receive school meals funded by the government under the Universal Infant Free School Meals scheme.
​
For children in Years 3 – 6, they cost £3.20 a day (£16.00 a week).

Special Diets
​
Gateway provide a special menu for pupils with allergies and intolerances who want to have a school meal. The allergen menu is provided for pupils with a confirmed medical reason, not just a dislike of certain foods.
