Please help us to help your children by accessing every penny available to the school.
Snacks
We offer a piece of seasonal fruit each day in Foundation Phase. Your child may bring a snack to eat at from home however, as supported by our Governors, we promote ‘healthy’ snacks – fresh fruit or veg only please. Nuts and nut products are not permitted as we have a number of children with severe nut allergies.
Treats
On special occasions, children may be given small edible treats e.g. Christmas sweets, Easter eggs, class rewards etc. If you are not happy for your child to receive and eat such treats, please ensure that you inform us. Please note that this only happens very occasionally since we are keen to promote healthy options.
Water
We encourage the children to drink water throughout the day. Please provide your child with a named water bottle.
