‘Yes’ is the simple answer. We are a nut-free school. We are very used to catering for children with allergies and intolerances such as nuts, dairy and gluten. Firstly, we like the Head of Catering and Matron to meet the parents to discuss the nature of the allergy. From here, a plan will be made, and all staff will be informed. We understand that it is more than just feeding your child safely. It is important that they do not feel as if they are different or being excluded in any way. We ensure that we cater for break-time snacks, treats, match teas as well as the main meals. Some parents like to supply a box of ‘treats’ that are suitable for their child in case an unforeseen situation arises such as another child bringing in cakes to celebrate their birthday.
