Our Lunch Box Policy:

To help cut down on Waste and Litter in the school,our committee came up with some guidelines for parents and pupils:
Try to reduce packaging in your lunch. (Plastic boxes which can be re-used are preferable to plastic bags and packets. See the Gallery )
Take a Lunch Box to school.
When you’ve finished eating, put any paper, packaging or left-over food back into your lunch box to take home. (This way parents can monitor what and how much their children are eating - or not eating.)
