Cooked meals and sandwich lunches are served in the school hall and children wishing to bring a packed lunch from home may do so. All school meals are free to all children. We ask for your support in sending a healthy packed lunch for your child, so promoting our healthy eating policy. Please include a piece of fruit and a drink in a sealed container. Glass bottles, tin cans and hot drinks, (including soup) should not be brought, for safety reasons. Sweets and Chocolates are not allowed.
To enable us to provide proper supervision, lunchtime arrangements must be on a weekly basis, and not on a daily basis i.e. the option chosen must continue for the whole week. Should you wish to change to one of the other options, the change must take effect from a Monday, and we need to be informed in writing.
Children store their lunchboxes on trolleys outside their classroom. The spaces allotted for each child is quite small so please do not send lunch boxes to school with another rucksack-type bag. We have found that the square plastic lunch boxes fit best of all. (Remember to label lunchboxes as many other children may have an identical box!) Children are supervised at lunchtime by the Midday Supervisors.
In an effort for children to eat sensibly and as part of our Healthy School policy we ask that parents send a piece of fruit for morning snack, alternatively, your child may bring a healthy fruit option, any other snack will be kept safely and returned at the end of the day. Please label snacks with your child’s name to avoid confusion. If any of these requests are problematic please contact school to discuss concerns.
In our Nursery Class, a healthy snack is provided daily- we ask for a weekly contribution of £1 towards this.
During the school day all Nursery and Foundation Phase children are given a carton of free milk.
