Dinning room service
A voluntary, non-profit-making and non-discriminatory service.
We consider mealtime of great importance in the education of our students. For this reason, we promote good eating standards, and we select menus with a great variety of food, always seeking nutritional balance. In addition, the dining room is a space for enjoying one another´s company.
J.H. Newman School has its own kitchen for the development of menus that also are reviewed on a monthly basis. There are several types of menus offering the diets necessary for those students who suffer from allergies and intolerances.
The company responsible for making the menu of the school every day is Scolarest.
Supervision in the dining room and the playgrounds is carried out by teachers of the centre and auxiliary staff selected by management, in order to cater to the students according to the educational criteria that make up our project.
For students of Secondary Education we offer a full varied menu, consisting of two first-course and two second-course options to choose from, in addition to dessert. All our dishes are cooked with olive oil, and we have a wide variety of options: rich dishes, salad buffet, and our popular Happy Fridays (burger menu).

Regulations on administration of medication
In the rules of Health on the administration of medicines in schools (according to the approval of the Royal Decree 954/2015 of 23 October), it is recommended not to manage them in the school. For this reason, it is important to schedule your child´s medication dosis at the times that the children are at home with you.
In the case that it is essential to do so in the school and in order to be able to manage them in the school schedule, the family will be required to present a signed authorisation which shall specify:
- The data of the student, the medication, the time of administration and the dose to be administered during school hours. The form can be downloaded from the Family Portal.
- Photocopy of the e-prescription or prescription or a medical report that will accompany the authorisation form.
Both the medication and documents must be delivered directly by the parents or guardians to the School Nurse. If the student is enrolled in early morning extended hours, you can leave it with the corresponding auxiliary staff. No medication will be administered without the above-mentioned conditions.
