Guidelines for Packed Lunches

We appreciate the support that parents and carers give us in providing healthy packed lunches to be eaten in school.  We ask parents not to include nuts or any nut products in their children’s lunchboxes as some children in the school are allergic to them, even touch or smell can make them very ill.

We recommend:

Protein and carbohydrate based items – 1-2 per lunch box

Eg.  Cheese sandwich, pasta salad with tuna, ham roll, rice salad with meat or fish, egg and salad sandwich, tortilla wrap with chicken and vegetables, bean and couscous salad, cheese and crackers.

Fruit and vegetable based items – 1 or 2 per lunch box

Eg. Fresh fruit, frozen fruit, fruit salads, fruit in natural juice, fruit yogurts, fromage frais, carrot sticks, celery sticks, cherry tomatoes etc.

Drinks – 1 per lunch box

Still water (this can be plain, flavoured or fruit juice but not squash).

Please continue to support the school’s commitment to healthy eating by NOT including the following items in your child’s lunch box –crisps, confectionary, chocolate bars, sweetened drinks, fizzy drinks, chewing gum, nuts and sweets.
