Packed Lunches
We encourage all children to take a School Meal, however should your child prefer to bring along a packed lunch we have details of some practical ways you can provide your child with a healthy, enjoyable lunch.
At Cedars we are committed to promoting a healthy balance and therefore all lunch boxes will be checked to ensure children are receiving a balanced, nutritional lunch each day.
Please note some items may be sent home uneaten with a slip if we do not feel they represent healthy eating (and replaced with an alternative from the school kitchen)
We would expect all lunchboxes to contain a healthy variety of food items.
