Packed Lunches

Children are also welcome to bring a packed lunch from home. Below is some guidance for packed lunches. Packed lunches should be sent into school in a named lunchbox.  

  • As part of our healthy schools and PSHE curriculum we promote and encourage packed lunches to be healthy and balanced, whilst understanding that some children may have quite restricted diets. 

  • We are a no nut school and therefore do ask that all lunches are nut free.  

  • It is our policy that packets of sweets, large chocolate bars and fizzy drinks are not included in lunches, but a small chocolate bar or piece of cake is fine as a desert element to a pack up.  

  • We also ask that items such as grapes and cherry tomatoes are sliced (top to bottom) to help prevent against choking on these items.

Special Diet Requests

If your child requires a medical diet due to a food allergy, food intolerance or a medical condition that requires an adapted menu (e.g. carbohydrate count for Type 1 Diabetes), please follow this link to request a medical diet: https://orders.lunchhound.co.uk/medicaldiets/request 

For further support, please refer to the Parent User Guide. Parent User Guide – Requesting a Medical Diet
