Snacks

We aim to make healthy foods and drinks available for snacks and reward systems, as follows:

 -     Fresh fruit and vegetables are made available to all children.

 -     Fresh drinking water should be available at all times. So that children have opportunities for choice, we will also make available at snack times daily certain permitted drinks including skimmed or semi-skimmed milk and water.

 -     Children will have opportunities to make breads and other foods as part of ‘food technology’ work. Toast is also offered.

 -     Dried fruit and seeds with no added salt, sugar or fat may also be given as snacks. We will avoid offering nuts due to choking risks and some children have nut allergies.

We will also continue to have parties and celebrations (e.g. birthday parties, religious festivals) for children at which the foods may not all meet the new standards.

Snacks and drinks cost money and we do ask for a voluntary contribution of £4 each half-term towards the costs. The money partially offsets the cost to the school. Children will still receive the same healthy snacks and drinks if their parents can not afford to make a contribution. A letter will be sent to you each half-term requesting a voluntary contribution. Contributions need to be sent in an envelope with your child’s name.

If parents wish to send in alternative foods and drinks, they are welcome to do so. For instance, some children require gluten-free foods; others may be lactose intolerant; and others may require special supplements for medical reasons.
