Safety

Please be aware that we have pupils in school with nut allergies. To help keep everyone safe, we kindly ask that you do not send your child to school or on trips with food containing nuts or coconut.

Additionally, please ensure that any foods that could pose a choking hazard, such as grapes or cherry tomatoes, are cut into smaller pieces.

Thank you for your cooperation and support in keeping all our pupils safe.

Summer Term 1 Menu 🍽️

New Planet Friendly Mondays -

Our school focus is on providing a healthy menu of low carbon intensive foods to create a culture in which people’s wellbeing is enhanced. We strive for our children to understand that through their daily menu choices, they can be a powerful advocate for not just their own health, but the future of a healthy planet.

Our school culture of sustainability and decarbonisation is pupil-led. Pupils know they can make sustainable choices every day in the food they choose. This includes meat free days and balanced menu choices which advocate low-carbon food, encourages justice and courageous advocacy, enabling pupils to make ethical choices and to be agents of change.
