Packed Lunches

In order to ensure that packed lunches are healthy we ask parents to follow the following guidelines: For a balanced packed lunch, your child should be eating a selection of foods from each of these healthier food and drink groups.  We will be monitoring the packed lunches to ensure that children have:

• at least one portion of fruit and one portion of vegetables every day.
• meat, fish (including oily fish such as salmon, twice a week maximum) or another source of non-dairy protein (e.g. lentils, kidney beans, chickpeas, hummus, falafel) every day.
• a starchy food such as any type of bread, pasta, rice, couscous, noodles, potatoes or other type of cereal
• dairy food such as milk, cheese, yoghurt, Fromage Frais or custard. Water, unsweetened pure fruit juice or milk.

These foods will not be allowed in packed lunches because they are especially high in fat, sugar or salt:
