On the left is a healthy school meal. This may include sandwiches made with brown bread, fruit and vegetables. On the right is an unhealthy school meal. This includes sandwiches made with white bread, crips and chocolates.

As you are aware, we do a lot of work to encourage our children to live healthy lifestyles, including eating a healthy lunch.

If your child brings a packed lunch to school, we ask you not to include chocolate bars or crisps. We also do not allow children to bring juice or fizzy drinks for their lunch as we provide water for all of the children.

Some parents have been asking us how they can provide a healthy packed lunch for their children. The picture above might help you to provide your child with a healthy packed lunch!

We hope that this information is useful in helping you to provide a healthy packed lunch for your child.
