• Healthy snacks

  Fri 27 Sep 2024

  It’s very important for children to re-fuel mid-morning by eating a healthy snack. For EYFS and KS1 children, this snack is provided by the Government. For KS2, if your child has a packed lunch, please ensure their mid-morning snack comes to school separately as they may not have access to their lunch box until lunchtime. Please remember, a healthy snack includes fruit or vegetables.
