Please be aware that we are a nut free school - this means that we have some children in school with severe nut allergies. Please check the packaging of your food very carefully. Prohibited food includes: chocolate hazelnut spreads, cereal bars, other nut spreads to name a few. We take this very seriously here in school and will confiscate any items that contain nuts.
