Healthy Schools and Healthy Lunches
In order to fulfill our commitment to ensuring that all members of our school community adopt healthy lifestyles and have a strong sense of personal well-being, we offer a comprehensive programme of learning experiences both within and outside of the curriculum. An annual Health Week focuses on different aspects from physical and emotional well-being to nutrition and personal care. However, the embedded daily work which goes on in our school ensures that we can sustain our ‘outstanding’ work and this is where we need the support of all parents, pupils, staff and governors.
School Dinners: Our school meals are excellent. Children can choose from a variety of different options - hot dinner, grab-a-bag, jacket potato, or sandwich with a hot pudding all for £2.66. Should your child not wish to have a meal provided by school, we ask that you provide a healthy packed lunch in a suitable container with your child’s name on. Water or fruit juice should be provided in a suitable container.
Fizzy pop, chocolate bars and packets of sweets are not permitted. Staff do monitor children's eating at lunch times. so please be mindful that we will discuss this with parents, if there are any issues of concern, for the good of the children.
Milk: Free milk is available to children from families under Scheme of Aid and in Nursery. Milk is available to other children but if required, must be paid for at the beginning of each term direct to our provider 'Cool Milk' and application forms can be collected from School Reception.
Drinks in School: Children should have a fresh bottle of water in school every day. Water bottles can be purchased from the office at a cost of £1.20 These must be taken home each day to be cleaned and refilled. Facilities are available in school where children can refill them at lunchtime and playtimes. Please do not fill water bottles with juice.
Fruit: Under government legislation children in KS1 are entitled to a free piece of fruit daily. Any left over fruit from KS1 is distributed by the fruit monitors to KS2 classes on a rota basis.
