Midday Lunch Break

Please let us know, in writing, if there is to be any variation in the lunchtime pattern, eg if your child will be going home for lunch on any particular day.

As part of our Healthy Living programme, a free fruit or vegetable snack is provided for each child in Years 1 and 2 and F. Children in Years 3 and 4 may bring in a snack at playtime. Chocolates, cakes and sweets are not allowed.
