Nut Free School

People who suffer from nut allergies can develop a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. If someone has a nut allergy it is not just eating nuts that can cause a severe reaction, just being touched on the skin or smelling the breath of someone who has had nuts or a product containing nuts can trigger anaphylactic shock (which can cause breathing and swallowing difficulties).

First aid staff in the school are trained to use the Epi-pens (an injection of adrenalin) which is required immediately if this happens. We cannot have nuts in school in any form. So please can we ask that we have no nut products in the lunch boxes or brought into the school as treats.

For example Peanut butter sandwiches. Chocolate spreads (such as Nutella), some cereal bars (including Nature Valley bars), some granola bars, cakes that contain nuts, biscuits / cookies that contain nuts etc. This list is not exhaustive, so please check the packaging of products closely. We appreciate that this is an additional thing to check and we know that you recognise the importance of it.

We do have to insist we are a nut free school. I know if this was your child you would expect that we all help, especially as it is a life-threatening condition.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to speak to a member of staff.

MCAS - After School Clubs

Don't forget to keep an eye out on your child's MCAS account if you have applied for a waiting list for an after school club. Once a space in a club becomes available for your child on the waiting list, they will be allocated a space. You can keep up to date under the Clubs tab on your MCAS account.
