Healthy Eating

At Brightwalton we strive hard to teach the children about living a healthy lifestyle and would value your support in this matter. Children in Ash and Elder Classes are provided with a piece of fruit or vegetable as a daily snack. Older children may bring in snacks of fresh or dried fruit or vegetables only to eat at morning break, so please do not send in biscuits, cakes or crisps. Sweets are not allowed in the school at any time; do not send your child to school with them.

Lunches 

We are most fortunate that we have our school lunches prepared on site every morning by our cook. All meals are nutritionally balanced, with a vegetarian option available daily. Children in Ash and Elder Classes are currently provided with a free lunch, children in Years 3 – 6 will be charged £2.60 per day. School meals are paid for directly via ParentPay, our provider. If you need help with this, please contact the school office. 

If you decide that your child will bring a packed lunch, it should not contain sweets, chocolate bars, drinks or nuts, due to several children having severe allergies. All packed lunches should be in a small lunch box or bag and be put on the trolley provided, by the pupil door.

Water is provided at lunchtime and throughout the day in Early Years. Children in Years 1-6 take their water bottle into lunch.
