Packed Lunches
We are seeking your help to achieve healthy lunches for all of our pupils.
School meals in school have to meet the School Food Standards to ensure they are healthy and nutritious. Food brought in from home is often not as healthy.
A healthy packed lunch should contain….
- One portion of fruit and one portion of vegetables
- A type of carbohydrate or starchy food (preferably wholegrain)
- A type of milk and dairy food
- A source of protein
- A healthy drink such as water
- A treat occasionally
In order to ensure that packed lunches are tasty and nutritious, children and staff have devised a red, amber and green scheme, please see the Packed Lunch Guidelines.
