Healthy Dinners

It’s lovely to see so many pupils bringing in such a wide range of healthy packed lunches and snacks. Can we please remind you that a healthy, filling breakfast and a healthy snack at break time provides a little boost for your child’s learning during the morning sessions. A healthy dinner then also provides a further boost throughout the afternoon session until you get home or into after school clubs.

Can we please ask that foods high in fat and sugar are not sent into school as well as taking into account pupils in school with nut allergies.

Thank you

BBC good food guide - Alternative Packed Lunches It’s lovely seeing the wide range of packed lunches the pupils bring in. The website provides some very interesting recipes if you would like to experiment every now and again

Healthy Packed Lunches

October 2019 - Some pupils have started bringing in YumiBox lunch boxes which are fantastic for segmenting a healthy dinner and teaching the children about nutrition from a young age. These can be found on amazon (for those parents that have asked ) however, they are not a necessity.
