Snacks and Milk Scheme

What snacks will my child have at school?

As a school, we have adopted a healthy approach to eating. We participate in the Government fruit and vegetable scheme, whereby all of our children are offered a piece of fruit or vegetable as a mid-morning snack, which is eaten in the classroom. This, therefore, means that snacks do not need to be sent to school. There is no cost to parents/carers for the supply of these snacks.

What drinks will my child have at school?

Milk

New Reception children starting at the school will be provided with a milk scheme. School milk is free for under-5s, and for over-5s it is available at a subsidised price. Each child that registers with Cool Milk will receive a 189ml portion of semi-skimmed milk every day, delivered fresh and chilled to the classroom. Register online at Cool Milk for your child to receive milk at school. See below for our letter about the school milk scheme and a poster about the scheme for all children.

 Milk Scheme Information

We ask children to bring in a water bottle each day.  They are encouraged to drink from this throughout the day and can refill in the classroom when they need to.

 Are nuts allowed in school?

No. We have children with nut allergies. These children will be carrying an Epi pen at all times and staff are trained to use the equipment. It is vital that everyone adheres to our school policy of no nuts or nut products in lunch boxes, this includes e.g. peanut butter, nut based chocolate spreads, cereal bars with nuts, pistachio nuts, etc.
