Healthy Eating

As part of the Oxfordshire Healthy Schools and Change4Life initiatives we encourage all our children to eat a healthy diet and to be active.

Nut-Free School

We have a child who has a nut allergy so on advice from the school nurse we are to be a nut-free school, so please refrain from bringing in nuts or any nut-based products.

Break Time Snacks

We encourage children to eat healthy snacks. Children in Class 1 and 2 are provided with a free piece of fruit at break time through the School Fruit and Vegetables Scheme. Children in Class 3 and 4 are encouraged to bring in their own piece of fruit or vegetable to snack on. Please do not send your child to school with snack items such as cereal bars, oatcakes or chocolate bars.

Remember to avoid sending in any nuts or any nut-based products as we are a nut-free school due to nut-allergies.

School Lunches

Hot school dinners are available through our catering company Educaterers who provide a rotating menu. The selection is in line with Government guidelines on healthy eating. Everyday there is a vegetarian option, children in reception, Year 1 and 2 are entitled to a free hot school meal. Year 3-6 the cost of a hot school meal is £2.53. 

Please see our healthy eating policy below. Please note we cannot heat food sent in from home for your child/ren.

The current menu is displayed in school, please menu below.

All meals are ordered and paid for via SchoolMoney (Eduspot).

School Milk

Free milk is provided for children aged 4 years. Once your child turns 5 you will need to pay for milk if you would like them to still receive it. Please contact Cool Milk to organise on 0800 0562146.

Water Bottles

Children are asked to bring in their own reusable water bottles to use in class. In order to reduce plastic waste and promote environmental responsibility, we discourage the use of single use plastic bottles. Children are able to refill their water bottles at the water fountains available.
