Guidance on Healthy Lunches and Snacks

Here you will find all relevant information on our healthy lunches in school expectations.

We are a strict nut free school and we ask you to check the ingredients of the items you are sending in with your children to ensure they are nut free. This includes things such as chocolate spread.

Packed lunches should be balanced and in line with the 'healthy eating standards' that we have to adhere to as a school.  Within a packed lunch, children may bring in a small bag of baked crips and a small chocolate bar (e.g. a Penguin) if they wish to.  It is the expectation that children always have something savory such as a sandwich and fruit and/or vegetables, in addition to anything else.
