Nower Hill High School
Catering Services in our School Dining Centre
We are delighted to announce that Harrison Catering Services Limited manages the catering services at our school. Harrison is an independent, family managed, business that has been established for fifteen years.
The company’s success has been built on its reputation for excellent food which is cooked on site using fresh ingredients, and its high service standards.We look forward to working with Harrison to develop the catering services at our school, and welcome any comments that you or your son or daughter would like to share with us. They operate as the cold food outlet at both break and lunchtimes from the old M7 classroom which is a cold food only area. This includes sandwiches, baguettes, wraps, fruit salads, fruit pots, fresh fruit, yoghurt pots and complete salad pots, plus all cold drinks. They provide the home cooked main/vegetarian meal of the day and other snacks at lunchtimes in the main dining centre, as well as a new breakfast service from 8am every morning. Nower Hill also has a Tuck Shop which operates at lunchtimes only.
Harrow Council has advised us of an increase in the value of a free school meal from the start of next term. The £2.27 allowance will entitle eligible pupils to a full two course lunch and a soft drink, fully compliant with the Government’s new Nutrient Standards that are to be introduced later this year.

See :- Letter to Parents about our new cashless service
a) A letter went out via "pupil post" (in registers) before half term,
b) then parents on Parentmail (e-mail system) were sent a copy of the letter,
c) and in addition, by post, parent logins with a username and password were sent to every home.
1. No cash will be accepted in the canteen, cold food area or tuck shop.
2. Input of finger impressions were taken ON Wed 11/11/09 and again on Friday 13/11/09, according to the timetable for finger impressions 2009.doc
3. The finger "print" is not retained. It is converted into a number and then the impression is discarded.
See the following document which gives basic Biometric information. biometrics-info and FAQs.doc.
No record whatsoever of the finger image is kept, nor can it be retrieved once it is discarded. Instead, it is converted into a number. As such therefore, we do no have any finger print of your child. We have a series of numbers that match to the finger image when the reader is used. It is a rudimentary system, and works when the sample size (our school roll) is not too large.
4. If a student missed their slot yesterday for registering (cold food area of canteen) we will organise a catch up session. Please see Mrs Herity in the medical room about this.
