Lunchtime
 |
Hot meals are available to order from www.parentpay.com All hot meals need to be ordered via ParentPay both for those who are entitled to Free School Meals and those who pay for their meals. Those children not having a school meal should bring in a packed lunch. These should be nutritionally healthy with a balance of protein, fruit and fibre. Insulated flasks are allowed to keep food warm but not those with a glass vacuum lining. There should be no sweets, nuts or chocolate bars and no fizzy drinks (no glass bottles or cans please). We also recommend that children shouldn’t be eating crisps everyday as these have high levels of salt. |

Due to food allergies with nuts please ensure that your child does not have any nut products in school, so no spreads, or healthy biscuits with nuts in them.
