Packed Lunches

We operate a healthy eating policy and encourage all children who wish to bring a packed lunch to include at least one portion of fruit, one portion of vegetables, meat, fish or other source of non-dairy protein every day.  Children are provided with cutlery if they forget. 

Drinks

Children aged 4 can register to receive free milk via www.coolmilk.com.  When your child turns 5 you have the option to pay for their milk.  We have made arrangements with Cool Milk to supply milk at a subsidised cost. 

Water is available throughout the day. Each classroom has a water fountain and there are three on the playground.

Please do not send your child in with fizzy or energy drinks.

Free Fruit

We provide all children under the age of seven with free fruit each day.  This is seasonal and if you prefer you can send in your own fruit for your child.
