Packed Lunches

We encourage our pupils to eat a balanced and healthy diet. Our canteen offers a range of healthy, delicious meals. However, should your child prefer to bring a packed lunch, here are some guidelines we’d appreciate you following:

 Packed lunches should include:

  • At least one portion of fruit and one portion of vegetables.
  • A carbohydrate food such as wholemeal or granary bread, pasta, potato salad.
  • Dairy food such as milk, cheese, yogurt or custard.
  • Meat, fish or other source of non- dairy protein.
  • Drinks should be water, still or sparkling, fruit juice, semi skimmed milk, yogurt or milk drinks or smoothies.
An example of a  healthy packed lunch may look like this: tuna or ham salad sandwich, bread sticks with a hummus dip, cucumber or carrot batons, apple, yogurt and a bottle of flavoured water.

 Packed lunches should not contain:

  • Snacks such as crisps. (Instead they can bring seeds, vegetables and fruit. Savoury crackers or bread sticks served with fruit or vegetables are also a good choice.)
  • Confectionery such as chocolate bars and sweets. Cakes and biscuits are allowed, but these should only be eaten as part of a balanced meal.
  • Meat products such as sausage rolls, individual pies, corned meat and sausage / chipolatas should be included only occasionally.
  • Chewing gum, fizzy drinks or energy drinks (These are not allowed in school at all).

Allergies & Special Diets

  • We have some students who suffer from severe nut allergies. Please do not put items in your child's packed lunch containing nuts.

  • We also recognise that some pupils have to follow special diets.

  • For the reasons above, we ask that pupils do not swap food items.
