Packed lunches should be clearly named and brought in a sealed lunch box, with drinks in a screw-top plastic flask. Please provide a spoon if the lunch includes a yogurt.

We run a staggered lunchtime depending on the year group. All lunches are eaten in the school hall. Please note that bottles or cans of fizzy drink, sweets, chewing gum etc. are not permitted in school.

Healthy snacks

These can be brought in by KS2 pupils to eat at break time. Healthy snacks include fruit, vegetables or a cereal bar. Our school is part of the Government-funded School Fruit and Vegetable Scheme, which provides a free daily portion of fruit for all Reception and KS1 children. Different fruit is provided each day, e.g. apples, pears, carrots, bananas, oranges and tomatoes, depending on the season.

You will be asked to provide information about any special dietary requirements, preferences and food allergies that your child has during their Reception admission visit, or upon entry to the school if starting in later year groups.

Children will have access to water throughout the day. In Reception, children are also offered a drink of milk (up to the age of five). If you would still like your child to receive milk, once they turn five you can arrange and pay for this via the Cool Milk website: http://www.coolmilk.com
