Packed Lunches

Due to allergies around school, we are a nut free school. In line with our policy, all packed lunches provided from home must not contain any form of nuts.  Any packed lunches that are brought into school containing nuts will be removed and parents will be contacted to provide an alternative lunch or a school meal will be provided at the cost of the parent. This is to ensure the safety of all pupils and staff within our school whom have a nut allergy. 

We recommend that all packed lunches include the following:

A portion of starchy food 
White or wholegrain bread, rolls, pitta bread or wraps, plain naan bread, bagels, cooked pasta, rice, noodles, couscous or potato as a salad.
