School Lunchtime
Philip Southcote School is proud to be recognised as a Healthy School, and we actively promote healthy eating throughout the school day.
To support this, we kindly remind families that the following items are not permitted in school or in packed lunches:
- Fizzy drinks or energy drinks
- Sweets or chocolate bars
We also have pupils with severe allergies, including allergies to nuts and sesame seeds. For everyone’s safety, packed lunches must not contain nuts or sesame seeds. This includes products such as Nutella, peanut butter, tahini, and any items that contain nut or sesame ingredients.
We encourage families to provide a healthy, balanced lunch and to involve children in preparing their meals, as this helps to develop positive lifelong habits around healthy eating.
Examples of a balanced packed lunch
- A ham or cheese sandwich with salad on brown bread
- Slices of carrot or cucumber
- Yogurt
- A piece of fruit
- Water
