Packed Lunches
Our School Council have been working very hard, carrying out a survey throughout school and having discussions with their classes about healthy eating and what should be included in a packed lunch.
Please see below the policy which has been created as a result of their hard work.
Snacks and drinks
We encourage fruit to be sent into school for a snack, however could you please ensure the if grapes are sent in they are cut in half, this also applies if they are sent in as part of a packed lunch. Whole grapes have been identified as a choking hazard. We have a water only policy for when the children are in class.
