13 Food and Nutrition The children are given a healthy lunch, supervised by teachers, at 12pm in the dining hall. 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 snack for mid morning break. Please make sure it is healthy, nutritious and nut-free (in line with our policy). Please do not send in fizzy drinks, chocolate, yoghurt, smoothies, sweets, crisps or fruit winders. We provide children with a breadstick snack mid afternoon. 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 given out at break time. Please remember School is a nut-free zone. Drinking water is encouraged throughout the day. Pupils should bring their own, named, water bottle, which can be filled up at any of the water dispensers. Water Read our Nutrition Policy. Further information
