Packed Lunches

Throughout this past year the School Council have been looking into a topic that’s very close to our hearts and tummies… food! In particular, our packed lunches. We have noticed that not everyone is making the best choices when it comes to packing their own (or their children’s) lunches and we wanted to help change this by creating some guidelines that we could all work from when making our packed lunches.

As you all know, our school dinners (cooked by Mrs Cliffe and her team) have to be balanced, healthy and must follow the Eat Well plate. This made us think ‘Why can’t our packed lunches follow the same plan?’ We then decided to research what children on packed lunches brought in for their lunch, but also what they thought of their packed lunches – gathering their opinions was very important.

We understand that food fuels working brains, and working brains are what we all have – put in the wrong fuel and the brain doesn’t work. Do you know what makes a healthy packed lunch? Here’s what we’ve come up with:

- A sandwich, bagel, wrap or a salad.

- At least 1 fruit and veg item.

- A milk or dairy product.

- A drink, but nothing fizzy!

- And no more than one sweet treat (no sweets or chocolate bars).

School Council have put together a couple of documents to help children and adults with preparing healthy packed lunches.  Please see the summary of all our guidance below.

We realise that it can be quite difficult to be inspired by packed lunches every day. For helpful ideas please visit https://www.nhs.uk/change4life. We really appreciate your support and hope that you’ll have fun helping Rawdon St. Peter’s raise the standard of our packed lunches.

Please note we have a number of children in school with nut allergies and therefore are unable to allow children to bring nut products into school in their packed lunches or as snacks.
