Breaktime Snacks
SNACKS
At Grange, we endeavour to be a healthy school, by teaching, the children about how to make good choices for their health including what they eat and how this contributes to their wellbeing.
We know how important it is that your child has the right fuel to keep them going from breakfast until lunch, and would encourage you to provide them with something healthy that they can eat at break time.
The NHS guidance from ‘change 4 life’ advises that snacks should be kept to under 100 calories. We hope that the table below will help you when choosing what to send in and what to leave for treats at home.
Please remember we have a strict NO NUTS policy because of allergies within our school’.
