Lunchtimes at school are an opportunity for all children to join together to eat their lunch and play in the playground. This allows children to make new friendships with children from other year groups; we also find that older children enjoy helping their younger school friends.
All children are encouraged to eat a balanced diet which we regularly promote through our curriculum. Children have the choice to either bring a packed lunch to school or take advantage of a healthy school meal. If you are providing a packed lunch for your child and struggling for ideas click here for some healthy lunchbox recipes.
Please do not send any food into school, as part of lunch or snack, that contains nut products
as we have number of children with significant nut allergies
