Healthy Lunches

"A healthy outside starts from the inside" - Robert Urich

 

Please note the cost of school meals is £3.30 per day for KS2 children (Years 3-6) with a choice of 4 meals.

All Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 children are entitled to free school meals and I would encourage you to take advantage of this entitlement. School meals are tasty, healthy and nutritious and children are supported and encouraged to try new foods alongside their friends.

 

Free School Meals

We would like to remind parents who are on universal credit that you may be eligible for free school meals. Your child may also be eligible for pupil premium funding. This money comes directly to the school and is used effectively to support learning and development. You can apply by telephone on 0300 123 4048 or online via:

Packed Lunches

If you choose to provide your child with a packed lunch it must be a healthy, balanced meal and it must include fruit and / or vegetables. For ideas for healthy packed lunches go to:

Nut Free School 

 

We aim to be a Nut-Free school. We do not allow nuts or nut products in school lunch boxes.

Our aim is to protect children who have allergies to nuts and support our pupils to be allergy aware.

Our “Nut-Free guidance” means that the following items should not be brought into school:

Packs of nuts

Peanut butter or Nutella sandwiches

Chocolate, sweets, Fruit and cereal bars that contain nuts

Cakes made with nuts

Any home cooked meals for packed lunches that are made with nuts

 

We do not use nuts in any of our food prepared on site at our school. Our suppliers provide us with nut-free products. However, we cannot guarantee that all food is free from nut traces.

What types of food are nuts?

Almonds

Cashew nuts

Hazelnut

Pistachio

Walnuts

Brazil nuts

Nut oils

Peanuts

 

Parents and carers must notify staff if their child has any known or suspected allergy to nuts and provide all medical and necessary information.

 

The school requests that parents and carers observe the nut-free guidance and therefore do not include nuts, or any traces of nuts, in packed lunches. All children are regularly reminded about the good hygiene practice of washing hands before and after eating which helps to reduce the risk of secondary contamination. Likewise, children are reminded and carefully supervised to eliminate the act of food sharing with their friends.

Thank you for your help in making our school safe for all children.
