We teach and promote healthy eating because on the basis that a well-balanced diet can have a positive impact on children’s health, behaviour and achievement. If your child is having packed lunches please follow these reminders:

 The main element should be savoury such as a sandwich, filled pitta bread, wrap, pasta or rice salad.

 Aim to include at least one portion of vegetables or salad.

 Include at least one portion of fruit. This could be a fruit salad, a piece of fresh fruit or dried fruit.

 For an extra snack, a fruit yogurt, fromage frais or rice cakes could be included.

 Although we do not recommend sweet desserts, we accept that you may wish to pack your child a small piece of cake or a biscuit.

 Water is provided by the school, however, you may provide a plastic bottle of water in your child’s lunchbox if you prefer.

 Please do not provide your child with chocolate, sweets, or a fizzy drink.

Please make sure that any snacks and packed lunches brought to the school are nut free. Please do not use chocolate spread or peanut butter.
