Pupils are encouraged to bring a healthy snack for morning break. Pupils may bring water, fruit, dried fruit or vegetables. No nuts, chocolate or chocolate cereal bars please.
Children in Reception and Key Stage 1 receive a piece of fruit or vegetable for mid-morning snack every day.
Please send your child into school each day with a clearly labelled water bottle. The children are able to refill their water bottles in their classrooms or at lunchtime. Please fill with water only (not juice or squash) because it is important to maintain hydration during the day and to avoid an over consumption of additional sugars or additives.
