Packed Lunches

Trying to create a healthy and varied packed lunch can be a little overwhelming, please see some suggestions below and use the link to get even more ideas!

Please remember that we are a NUT FREE SCHOOL and we do have children with allergies. No items of any kind containing any nuts are allowed in packed lunches.

When sending your children in with small items such as grapes and cherry tomatoes please remember that these must be cut in half (lengthways) to reduce the risk of choking.

The main event

• Sandwiches, wraps, bagels, salads, stuffed pitta or rolls, all with a choice of fillings
• Cheese and crackers or even a slice of cold pizza!

Snacks and sides

• Vegetable sticks such as celery, cucumber, peppers and carrot.
• Peeled and cut hard boiled eggs.
• Fresh fruit, apples, bananas, oranges, berries, and grapes.
• Dried fruit such as raisins, banana chips, and mango.
• Cheeses, such as Babybel, cheese strings, cheese triangles or your favourite cheese cut into cubes.
• Crisps can be baked for a healthier option, or a small bag of pretzels is an alternative.

Dairy

• Yoghurts or fromage frais, pots, tubes or small drinks.

Sweet options

• A small biscuit or wrapped cake. (Please do not send in bags of sweets or chocolates.)

Drink

• Juice cartons or bottled water. We do not allow fizzy drinks.
