    NO NUTS/NUT PRODUCTS PLEASE in SCHOOL

    10 March 2026 (by admin)

    A polite reminder that we do have several children on the school site who have severe life-threatening allergies. Please be mindful of this when preparing your child's packed lunch or giving them a snack.

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

    Please note this is also very important when sending in 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
    • Seeds (sesame)

    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.

    Again, we remind you that we do have a number of children on the school site with allergies severe enough, that even the slightest contact with nuts/a nut product, could cause a severe and potentially life-threatening reaction.
