Lunch Time

Children bring a packed lunch from home or have a school meal which they will eat in the hall.

Packed lunches brought from home must be in a suitable rigid plastic container and clearly labelled with the child’s name.

Children may bring a drink to have with their lunch, which must be in a carton, a plastic bottle or flask. Cans and glass bottles are not allowed. Sweets, confectionery, nuts of any type and fizzy drinks should not be included in the packed lunch. We encourage all children to have healthy lunch boxes and reward children who do so. 

Children may go home for lunch, in which case they must not return to school until five minutes before the start of the afternoon session. This is due to fire regulations operating within the school.

School Meals Supervisors support staff during lunchtimes and care for children in the dining hall / classrooms and on the playground / field.

Playtimes

We are part of the National Fruit scheme. All children in Nursery, Reception and Years 1 and 2 have a free piece of fruit every morning, which is eaten at morning break. Children from Years 3 to 6 may bring fruit from home to eat at this time.

Water is available from drinking fountains at break times. In addition children may bring bottles of water from home to drink in class; it must be in a “sports bottle” – either refillable or disposable and clearly named.
