healthy eating

 

Water

It is important that children have an opportunity to drink, as dehydration can affect a pupil's learning and concentration. Teachers will set rules for this in accordance to their classes age and maturity.

Water bottles are on sale in the school office.

 

 

School Meals

At present meals are delivered from Roselands School kitchens and served in the hall. However from January 2008, we will be providing our own meals, prepared and cooked on site.

Dinner money is collected on Monday mornings only. Meals paid for, but missed through absence will be credited.

Free meals are available for children of parents in receipt of Income Support/Job Seeker's Allowance or Child Tax Credit. Please check your entitlement to free school meals, by discussing with Mrs Flower (Monday and Fridays).

Provision is made at school for children who wish to bring a sandwich lunch. Water is provided with meals but children may bring a cold drink in an unbreakable container, never glass and NO cans please, and in particular NO fiszzy drinks.

Children are asked not to bring sweets to school. We are developing a healthy food policy. It will be implemented during the second half of 2007.

Milk

Cool Milk at School Ltd, is an organisation who provide, at a subsidised cost, milk in cartons for children to be served during the school day (usually morning break). For children under the age of 5, this is free.
They can be contacted through their website on www.coolmilk.co.uk or by completing a form which should be returned directly to them. Parents are responsible for placing orders for milk and payment of bills through Cool Milk at School Ltd.
If you wish to commence this in September you must ensure you contact Cool Milk in July or early August to ensure you meet the order deadline date for the beginning of term.
