Dear parents/carers
As we embark on our new school year, we feel it is important to revisit the policy on food in school. Here is the link to our policy: Walkley School Food Policy
Of particular importance is the safeguarding of our pupils with allergies that place them at increased risk of adverse reactions to certain food types and associated medical emergencies. For example, nut allergies. Your help with this is much appreciated. We are aware that pupils and parents like to bring food to share with their peers on birthdays and other special occasions; this is very kind. We just ask that the food is individually wrapped and that the ingredients are displayed on the packaging. Food presented in this way can be shared at the end of the day as pupils are released to parents. This way, parents can decide if the food is suitable for their child to have.
We also advise and promote healthy options for food in school, whether that be snacks, school dinners or packed lunches. For further information do please contact school.
Many thanks
