School Lunches
For children who wish to eat a hot meal – school meal menus are available to down load at the My School Lunch website.
For those children and parents looking for healthy ideas for lunchboxes – lunchbox ideas are available from the Foods Standards Agency.
Nut Allergies
We have a number of pupils throughout our school with severe nut allergies. For these pupils even the smallest trace of nuts can be life threatening. We therefore aim to keep our school a nut free zone. We ask all parents to imagine how they would feel if it was their child who had a severe nut allergy. Please do not send any food containing traces of nuts into school. We are very grateful for your co-operation.
Fruit Snacks
We promote healthy eating at Nant-y-Parc and strongly encourage the eating of fruit as a playtime snack.
Children can bring money to school and purchase fruit daily from our fruit trolley.
We have a good selection of fresh fruit regularly delivered to school including apples, bananas, plums, grapes, satsumas and tangerines.
Drinks
We recognise the health benefits of staying hydrated. We have many water fountains within school that the children can access. Children need to bring a water bottle (clearly marked with their name) to school that they can use to take a drink.
Children in FP receive a school milk drink every day. There is no charge for school milk.
Breakfast Club
The best start to a school day is a healthy and nutritious breakfast – the most important meal of the day.
Breakfast club is open before school from 8.20 am and provides pupils with breakfast, which includes a variety of items, such as toast, fruit juice, a selection of cereal, sugar-free jam, yoghurts, fresh and dried fruit and milk. Children should arrive no later than 8.30am for Breakfast Club as food is only served up until this time. Once the children have eaten their breakfast they are free to enjoy the wide range of activities we have on offer at breakfast club including toys, art resources, games and reading resources. At the end of breakfast club the children are escorted to the yard where they are then under the care of the staff on yard duty up until the time that they enter school and go to class. Further information and registration forms for children to attend the club can be obtained from the school office.
