As a school that promotes the importance of making good, healthy choices, we look at what pupils are eating at breaktimes and lunchtimes. We have noticed that some children are bringing in unhealthy snacks for morning break and as part of packed lunches. Can we ask you to check the following:

 

• Break-time snacks should be fruit only (this is provided for children in Early Years and key-stage 1).
• Pupils are not sharing their snacks/lunch with each other to limit potential exposure to allergens.
• Lunchboxes should be balanced and healthy.
• We are a nut free school so no products that contain nuts should be bought into school.

 

We know that it can be tricky to think of new healthy snack options and packed lunch ideas. Please see the links below for ideas. Please also see our guidance on school dinners. Thank you
