Bringing In A Packed Lunch
If your child brings in a packed lunch from home, we ask that you make healthy choices. Packed lunch guidance can be found in the document below and online at https://www.nhs.uk/healthier-families/recipes/healthier-lunchboxes/.
- Food should be in a plastic box or a small cool bag and clearly marked with your child's name.
- Lunch boxes should not include sweets and chocolates. We also strongly recommend avoiding crisps and other ultra-processed foods such as sausage rolls and packaged cakes.
- Drinks other than water or sugar-free squash are not permitted. Cans or glass bottles are not permitted in school for safety reasons.
- Please remember that nuts are not permitted on school premises under any circumstances, due to allergies.
Going Home For Lunch
- Please contact the school office beforehand if you intend to take your child home for lunch.
- If children go home for lunch, they should not return to school earlier than ten minutes before the afternoon session begins.
- Please use our signing in/out book in the office when you collect/return your child.
