Lunches:

Equion FM has appointed a schools meals provider called Avenance.
Meals cost £2.30 per day, £11.50 per week and need to be paid for via Parent Pay

Treats:

We do not allow cakes /sweets to be given out for childrens' birthdays. This is because we cannot guarantee the ingredients of these items and also to uphold our 'Healthy Schools' status.
There may be occasional cake sales at school where parents can make decisions about their child making a purchase. These are for fundraising purposes. In hotter weather, we occasionally sell ice lollies on the playground. Again parents are informed of this in advance and can make the choice for their child to bring in money.
It is important that children understand that treats should be eaten in moderation.
 

Water:

All children are encouraged to drink water throughout the school day. This is to promote healthy eating and to avoid sugary/fruity drinks spilling on books and children’s work. We will give all children a free, named, water bottle when we open but from then on in we will be selling them for £1.00 a bottle or 50p for a new top if you need one.

All children in Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1, Nursery – Year 2, will receive a free piece of fruit or vegetable for snack at playtime as part of the Government’s scheme to promote healthy eating. Please let us know if your child has any allergies to any particular types of fruit. No other food type is permitted for break time apart from dried fruits like sultanas, apricots etc. Please do not send biscuits, chocolate, sweets, crisps, nuts etc. Thank you.

Children in Key Stage 2, Years 3-6, do not receive free fruit or vegetables unfortunately, so if they wish to bring a snack please send fruit, peeled vegetables or dried fruit. Many thanks.
