Packed Lunches

We do encourage parents

to send children to school with

a healthy packed lunch and a drink

(we do not allow fizzy pop or glass bottles).

 All lunch boxes should have

your child’s name and class

clearly displayed.

HEALTHY LUNCH BOX IDEAS

Recently the school has seen an increase in the number of children being diagnosed with a nut allergy. As you are aware, a nut allergy can be serious and sadly sometimes fatal for those who experience an Anaphylactic shock after exposure to nuts. After each allergic reaction, people can become more sensitive and the reaction can become more severe. Environmental exposure can also cause a reaction. 

As a school, we feel it is always better to be proactive and preventative when it comes to risks for our pupils. Therefore to help us avoid a situation where a child experiences Anaphylaxis in school, or staff have to administer an Epi-pen, we have declared our school ‘nut free’. This means that we need to remind you that no nuts or nut products are allowed in school. Whilst we can’t police every child’s lunchbox, we respectfully ask for all parents’ cooperation with this. We strongly request that parents avoid sending loose nuts, peanut butter, Nutella/nut-based sandwich spreads or cereal bars with nuts or any other product with nuts into school in their children’s lunchboxes. This includes sesame seed products.

Together we will ensure the safety of all of our pupils. We thank you for your cooperation.

We also want to remind all parents that if grapes are sent into school,

these need to be cut into halves or smaller pieces by parents at home.
