Packed Lunches
Packed lunches are eaten in the same area as School Meals. We ask that you DO NOT bring nuts or snacks containing nuts into school at any time.
We strive to be a healthy school and teach the children about healthy choices when it comes to food. When thinking about the content of your child’s packed lunch please do try to ensure that they are getting a balanced and nutritious meal that will help sustain them through the day. Really good advice on what to feed your children in their lunch boxes can be found on the NHS Choices website and there are lots of other good ideas on the BBC Good Food website
