Packed Lunches
If your child prefers to bring a packed lunch these should be in a plastic box with a non-fizzy drink in a sealed container – no glass bottles please. A spoon should be added to the lunch box when needed. We encourage children to bring in healthy packed lunches; sweets and chocolate bars are not acceptable in packed lunch boxes.
Milk
Milk is free for all children under five and is subsidised for children aged five or older at around £10 a term.
Snacks
All children are provided with a piece of fruit, free of charge, each day.
Drinks
Throughout lessons, only plain water is allowed in classrooms. Children may bring their own water bottle to school.
