Snacks
Please provide a healthy snack for morning break. We encourage a balanced diet.
Please note all snacks MUST BE NUT FREE. We have children in school with severe nut allergies.
Please do not send your child into school with any nut-based product for a snack or packed lunch – this includes products that may contain traces of nuts. Potential allergens could include the following:
- NUTELLA, and NUTELLA based products
- other butters or spreads e.g. peanut butter. almond butter
- cereal bars
- some types of biscuits containing nuts
- cakes containing nuts
- some snack pots containing nuts
It is important that you check the labelling of food products before sending your child in to school with them – it is not always apparent that products contain nuts or traces of nuts.
We also ask that, if you child consumers any nut-based products before school, they wash their hands thoroughly and rinse their mouth before entering the school grounds. We understand that these measures may seem extreme; however, we want to ensure the health and safety of all our pupils, and the pupil in question’s allergy is so severe that even the slightest of contact with nuts would cause a severe and potentially life-threatening reaction.
As a school, we do not serve meals that contain nut-based products. We also ensure all food tables are disinfected before and after being used with antibacterial wipes and cleaning fluid.
If any pupil is found with a nut-based product, it will be confiscated and disposed of immediately.
