Sandwiches

If you prefer, your child may bring sandwiches to school. These must be packed in a named container and placed in the sandwich box/trolley in each classroom. Please do not put sweets, glass bottles, fizzy drinks or nuts. We realise the importance of healthy eating and trust that you will support us in this by providing your child with a healthy lunch box. If you would like your child to change from packed lunches to school dinners or vice-versa please see the class teacher or office staff.

Please remember we are a nut free school.

Mid-morning snacks:

All Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 classes have a morning break time snack of fresh fruit or vegetables. Older children may bring fruit or another healthy snack to eat at break time. Chewing gum, sweets, fizzy drinks, chocolate bars, nuts and nut related products are not

allowed in school.

Drinks

Children are provided with a water bottle and are encouraged to drink water regularly during the day. A child may have flavoured water or squash in their water bottle, both need to be sugar free. Milk is free for all children under 5.
