We regard the lunchtime as an important social occasion and pupils are encouraged to sit with their friends. Our school staff provide the necessary support and supervision for all, but particularly for our younger boys and girls.
Healthy packed lunch
If you decide to send your child with a packed lunch please help us to promote healthy eating by providing a healthy balanced lunch. Packed lunches should be a light balanced snack of nutritious food to enable your child to access learning effectively.
Water will be available on the dining tables for all children to drink. Children are encouraged to drink plenty of water during the school in an effort to address dehydration.
We are a nut free school, therefore please do not put any nut products in your child’s packed lunch.
