School Lunch Breaks

There are two eating breaks during the school day.

The children eat at their tables in the classroom.  Free hot lunches are provided to all pupils. Children only need a small snack for little break. We encourage healthy eating during this break. 

Allergies

Because of the risk of severe reactions to allergies, we ask that no nuts be brought into the school. Sharing of food should also be avoided for this reason,  and we would appreciate if parents would advise and remind their children of this.  Younger children especially are tempted by the lunches they see in other lunch boxes!

Independent Eating

We would like to encourage independent eating at all times and at all ages: children, if they have them in their lunch boxes, should be able to open and eat a yogurt without spilling; peel a banana or an orange, open a cheese string etc. Each child should also be enabled to sit at the table and eat calmly.  Lunch times can be a good opportunity for socialising, chatting and making friends. 

Suggestions for healthy food
