Lunch and Snack
Snack
Fruit is provided free of charge for nursery to Year 2 children every day. Children are welcome to bring in additional fruit if they would like to.
Please provide a healthy snack (fruit or vegetables) for children in Years 3-6.
Water Bottles
We encourage our children to drink plenty of fresh water throughout the day. These can be refilled at break and lunchtime, and at other points of the day if needed. Please provide a named water bottle for your child every day.
Nursery Lunch
Lunchtime will start from 11.40 for children that are in nursery for the full day. We model and encourage manners at lunchtime and see this as an opportunity to talk about healthy eating.
Your child will need to bring a healthy packed lunch and a water bottle. Packed lunches must be in a suitable box or container which should be named. For health and safety reasons, no drinks in cans or glass bottles and no hot liquids are allowed in school.
As our school strives to encourage children to be healthy, we ask families to think carefully about what is given to their child in their packed lunch. We do not allow squash, fizzy drinks, sweets or chocolate.
