As you know we have been developing Healthy Eating in our school and have gained the 'Enhanced Healthy Schools Award'.  In addition to producing a Healthy Eating Policy we decided to produce some lunchbox guidelines.

These are recommendations only for what could be included in your child's lunch, based on producing a healthy, balanced lunchbox.

• Sandwiches/rolls/pitta - preferably wholemeal.
• Fillings - cheese/ham/salad/tuna/egg/marmite/etc
• Food needs to be made up and ready for your child to eat, not like Dairylea packs which they need to make up themselveS.
• Fruit - Fresh or dried
• Yoghurt - please provide your child with a spoon.
• A sweet option e.g. home-made fairy cake, flapjack, healthy cereal bar (many shop bought cereal bars are not as healthy as they seem), plain biscuit.
• Drink - water/fruit juice/sugar-free squash.

The lunchbox should not include these things as they are not healthy options

• Jam or chocolate spread fillings in sandwiches
• Crisps
• Sweets
• Chocolate
• Fizzy drinks
• Peanut butter due to nut allergies

Your child will eat their lunch in the hall under the supervision of the Midday Supervisors.  All rubbish/leftovers are left in the child's lunchbox so that you can see exactly what your child has eaten.

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WE ARE A NUT FREE SCHOOL.
