Packed Lunch Policy

The children of St Faiths have voted and made up guidelines for a healthy packed lunch. A healthy packed lunch should help improve your child’s attention, behaviour and learning.

The children have used a traffic light system to sort food.

The following items the children have decided SHOULD NOT be in Packed Lunches:

Fizzy Drinks 

Sweets

In addition to all this, there are Packed Lunch Targets each week which are set and checked at lunch time by our lovely Teaching Assistants.
