Snacks

Methley Primary School has gained 'Advanced Healthy School status and a big part of that award is our 'Food Policy'.

There seems to be a little confusion about the kind of snacks that the children are allowed to bring to school.....

The children are allowed to bring the following:

-A piece of fruit.
-Vegetable sticks (Carrot/cucumber etc)
-Dried fruit (raisins/apricots etc)
-Plain biscuits (digestive/rich tea...) The plain biscuit option is only there for children who REALLY don't like fruit/veg.

The children are not allowed to bring:

-cereal/muesli bars
-chocolate biscuits, party rings etc
-Fruit bars (school bars etc.)
-Yogurts
-Smoothie pouches/drinks
-Crisps (inc Mini Cheddars)
-Cheese sticks
-Anything really that isn't fruit, veg or a plain biscuit.

We don't enjoy being 'Snack Police' but we have to adhere to school policy and if we say yes to one thing then it opens up the flood gates to all sorts. We hope that you will continue to support us in our Healthy School status and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask any of the Reception/Year 1 Team.

Thank You
