Children can have a school meal or bring a packed lunch of their own
At Guilden Morden we seek to promote the health and wellbeing of everyone. We recognise that food and nutrition form an important aspect of our health and wellbeing. It also contributes to our pupils being able to learn effectively and therefore recognise the need to eat a balanced, healthy diet to keep us fuelled up with the energy we need for daily life.
Our school meals are clearly planned by our caterers, Aspens, but if you chose to provide a packed lunch for your child, then we encourage parents to ensure that the packed lunch is healthy and well balanced.
Please have a look at the following websites for some great ideas for healthy packed lunches: https://www.nhs.uk/healthier-families/recipes/healthier-lunchboxes/ https://www.phunkyfoods.co.uk/recipes/?fwp_courses=packed-lunches https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/school-packed-lunch-inspiration
Currently, we do not have any children with a nut allergies, but as a school we would request that we remain a nut free school. Please can you ensure that no nut products are included in your child’s packed lunch.
Lunch boxes should be clearly labelled with the child’s name and class.
We encourage our children to have a mid-morning snack. Reception and Key Stage 1 pupils are provided with a portion of fruit or vegetable each day as part of the School Fruit and Vegetable Scheme. Children in Key Stage 2 can bring in their own fruit or vegetables as a snack. Any other snacks will not be permitted.
We encourage all children to bring in a water bottle to school, that is clearly labelled with their name and class. Only water will be permitted and there is a water dispenser for the children to top up their water bottles throughout the day.
You are eligible if you are in receipt of the following:
All pupils in Reception, year 1 and year 2 are entitled to a free school meal under the government’s Universal Infant Free School Meal scheme.
