Meals and Lunchtime Arrangements
As laid down in the School rules, students are not allowed to leave school during the school day without special permission from the Head of Year. Such permission is granted only in exceptional circumstances and must be requested by a letter from the parents on each occasion. This letter should be signed and dated in addition to explaining why the request has been made.
This means at lunchtime students will either take a school lunch or bring a packed lunch.
School lunches are provided in a cashless dining room and snack bar and the cost will depend upon the choice of dishes. Those who bring a packed lunch will normally eat these only in the dining room or in the designated picnic areas. See the next section for details about the Dining Room.
Diss High Dining Room
A cheerful welcome awaits all students in the school dining room. We serve food at morning and lunch breaks. All dietary requirements can be catered for; please telephone to discuss these.
