Snacks, milk and allergies
Breaktime Snacks
Fruit and/or vegetables are provided every day for the children in Key Stage 1. However, some children are still hungry and we do understand that they may need an additional ‘something’ to eat.
We therefore have an agreed list of acceptable foods for break time snacks. We have also included a list of foods that we do not allow in school. This was on request from parents and I hope that it is useful to you.

Nut & Sesame Allergies
We do have some Anaphylactic Children in school.
We have children that are highly allergic to nuts and sesame. Some children have a severe reaction from even touching nuts.
We therefore do not allow nuts or sesame seeds of any kind into school (even peanut butter sandwiches, chocolate spread sandwiches, hummus, sesame topped rolls etc).
Healthy Eating and birthday treats
As part of striving to be a healthy school you are very welcome to send in cakes for birthday celebrations (nut free) but please do not send in sweets to be given out to the children during the day
