Healthy Snacks

In line with our Healthy Schools Initiative children are encouraged to drink water during the school day. There is a water fountain available for use at break and lunchtime but children are encouraged to bring water bottles into school to allow them to drink throughout the day. Please provide your child with a clear sports top bottle (not screw top as these lead to spillages!). Please note that we only allow water to be drunk during lesson time – it is only still water that is recommended by health care professionals and sweetened drinks attract insects. 

Snacks at Break Time 

In order to encourage healthy eating habits, crisps, sweets or chocolates are not allowed. 

Snack Time in the Foundation Phase 

All children in the Foundation Phase have free milk every day. We encourage the children to try a variety of healthy snacks. We offer a good selection of fruit plus other healthy food options. Although the milk is free, we ask for a donation of £1.50 a week to cover snacks. 

Snack Time in KS2 

You may choose to send your child to school with a healthy snack or they can purchase fresh fruit in school for £1.50 a week.

Parents can pay for snacks, weekly, monthly or termly. Please put money in an envelope clearly marked with your child’s name.
