    REMINDER - NO NUT PRODUCTS PLEASE (every little helps!)

    17 October 2025 (by admin)

    Please be mindful when organising and preparing your child's packed lunch. We have several children on the school site who have life-threatening allergies - they can have severe and rapid allergic reactions.

    We ask that NO NUT PRODUCTS are sent into school at all.

    Please note this is especially very important when sending in a healthy morning snack for your child or preparing a daily packed lunch. NO NUT PRODUCTS please.

    Potential allergens could also include the following:

    • Spreads, e.g. chocolate spread
    • Cereal bars (check for nuts contents)
    • Some types of biscuit containing nuts
    • Condiments, e.g. satay sauce
    • Cakes containing nuts
    • Some snack pots containing nuts
    • Sesame seeds.

    PLEASE BE VERY MINDFUL OF THIS

    It is important that you check the labelling of food products before sending your child in to school with them – it is not always apparent that products contain nuts or traces of nuts.

    Thank you parents.

    We do have a number of children on the school site an allergy severe enough that even the slightest of contact with nuts could cause a severe and potentially life-threatening reaction.
