Lunchboxes
You are welcome to provide lunch for your child. As a “Healthy School” we urge all parents to ensure their child/ren are provided with a balanced lunch box, with no sweets or chocolate. A good healthy lunch should include a sandwich, with a nourishing filling e.g. cheese, ham, salad etc., some fruit, a cereal bar, yogurt, raisins, carrot sticks, etc.
Children are encouraged to drink plenty of water throughout the day and the school has water fountains in both key stages. In addition, please ensure that your child is provided with water in a plastic bottle or flask and not glass. Fizzy and sweetened drinks are not permitted.
