6 Food and Nutrition The children are given a healthy lunch, supervised by the Pre-Prep team, in the dining hall at 12pm. There is always a choice of two hot dishes with vegetables or salad, jacket potatoes, fresh bread, and a pudding, fruit, jelly or yoghurt. All children are encouraged to use good table manners, try all the food that is on their plate and become independent in their eating habits. If your child has a dietary requirement, please indicate this on the medical form. Lunch menus are available on our website. Meals are carefully nutritionally balanced and we teach children about healthy eating through cooking and tasting activities as well as at meal times. Snacks Parents should send their child in with a small, healthy snack for mid morning. Please make sure that, in line with school policy, the snack is nut-free, healthy and nutritious (e.g. fruit, cheese, vegetables). Please do not send in fizzy drinks, chocolate, yoghurt, smoothies, sweets, crisps or fruit winders. We will provide the children with a breadstick snack mid afternoon. Please also send your child into school with a transparent, named, water bottle so we can encourage them to drink water throughout the day. A school water bottle is available through Stevensons. Birthdays Children may bring in cupcakes or a fruit platter (no sweets, please) to share with their form on their birthday, with an ingredients list. This will be overseen by the form teacher and cakes will be given out at the end of the school day so that you can decide when you would like them to eat it. Please remember School is a nut-free zone. Read our Nutrition Policy. Further information
