Healthy School Meals
As a school we are committed to providing healthy food choices at breakfast, break and lunchtimes. We recognise our responsibility to work with parents to protect children’s health and we hope to re-balance children’s diets during the school day by providing healthy options. We aim to manage choice so that we can increase the variety of foods our children eat and make it easier for them to choose the healthy option. Please contact the school office if you would like to see our Healthy Food Policy.
Allergens
A full list of allergens can be seen on WisePay and the list is also displayed in the canteens.
