Milk is provided free of charge for all children in school under the age of 5.  Milk can be ordered from our School Milk provider, Cool Milk – information is available from the school office or by contacting Cool Milk

Cartons of milk for children who have ordered it or are under 5, will be delivered to the classroom at the beginning of each day and should be consumed at or just before morning playtime only.

Children who do not have milk are provided with water, please ensure that  your child has a water bottle in school every day .

Drinks should not be taken in to the playground at dinnertime or at afternoon playtime (unless in very hot weather).

Water  should be available in class daily, at reasonable times. Each classroom has a filter tap for drinking water.

‘Tuck’ for morning break

Pupils may bring a small snack to be eaten at morning playtime only.

Chocolate or sweets should not be part of school snacks, and pupils should ideally only bring fruit. Fruit should be encouraged by staff.

Parents should be advised to only send an amount that their child can comfortably eat in about five minutes.

All empty packets, wrappers and unwanted food should be put into the playground bins before the end of playtime.

Pupils should not bring drinks for morning break, as access to water is available in classrooms.
