    HEALTH & SAFETY REMINDER - NO NUTS/NUT PRODUCTS PLEASE

    7 November 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.
