Most children require a snack at morning break to keep them going through the day.

We encourage children to bring in healthy snacks full of vitamins and minerals containing no added salt, fat or sugar. Many of these will help contribute to their 5 daily portions of fruit and vegetables, keep them alert and help them concentrate. It can be hard during the week to think of suitable items for them to bring in to school, but we are aiming, with the help of the children, to not only support them in making healthy choices regarding snacks, but to also reduce food packaging and waste. 

We are aiming for a common-sense approach, with the key being to keep it healthy. 

NO chocolate, sweets or crisps

If you are intending to send in healthy snacks with your child please limit them to the list below. 

• Vegetable sticks – such as celery, cucumber, peppers or carrot
• A piece of cheddar cheese or babybel 
• A piece of fresh or dried fruit - pineapple, mango, kiwi, raisins, apricots, blueberries, banana
• Bread sticks, plain pretzels, banana bread, malt loaf, oat/rice cakes and small pitta breads
• Homemade snack - flapjacks or other oat/whole grain based snack. 

All snacks must be nut free.

We need the children to stay hydrated and so please ensure they bring a named water bottle into school daily. Squash and fruit juice are not permitted.

We hope that with your help, we can encourage the children to develop healthy eating habits that become a normal part of everyday life.
