Packed Lunches
Our aim is to encourage anyone bringing their own lunch to school to eat as healthily as possible.
So, what should be in an ideal packed lunch?
- A main item based on starchy carbohydrate e.g. different types of bread, pasta, potato, rice or couscous
- At least one portion of fruit and vegetables. These could be separate items or in the sandwich or a salad.
- Some kind of protein: meat, egg or vegetarian equivalent
- A drink - preferably water, fruit juice or milk
Also there could be:
- A dairy product - small cheese portion, milk or yoghurt
- Something sweet to finish with e.g. muffins, malt loaf, flapjacks
We encourage a wide variety of foods over the course of a week.
We actively discourage:
- Savoury snacks (crisps, etc)
- Confectionery (chocolate bars and sweets)
- Fizzy and sugary drinks
Morning Breaks
We encourage children to bring a piece of fruit/vegetables to eat during the morning break or another healthy snack. Cereal bars must not contain nuts and should contain low levels of sugar and chocolate. Children are not allowed to eat chocolate, biscuits, sweets or crisps at break time.
