*Important*

We are a nut free school - Due to nut allergies in school, please ensure that your child refrains from bringing nuts, or items of food that contain traces of nuts, to school (includes nutella, bueno, hazelnut flavour, penaut butter).

Please let us know if your child has any food allergies or intolerances by contacting the school ASAP.

Free School Meals - Welsh Government

Children in full-time school are now entitled to FREE School Meals as Universal Provision (Welsh Government).

Packed Lunches

You may prefer your child to bring a packed lunch from home.  This should be brought into school in a clearly named, secure container.  In line with our involvement in the Healthy Schools Initiative we take every opportunity to teach our children about healthy food choices.

Breaktimes

Children are encouraged to bring a piece of fruit for their break.  We ask that younger pupils bring their fruit suitably prepared for eating (peeled, segmented etc.) and in a bag/box that has a label with your child’s name on.  Children are only allowed to bring fruit to school – no sweets, crisps etc

At Cwmdâr Primary School, we have a firm commitment to being a “Healthy School”, we are proud to have been awarded the Healthy Schools Accreditation for being a Health School for the fifth time.  We ask that children bring a filled bottle each day if they so wish.  If required, top ups can be acquired from the above mentioned outlets.

Ensuring pupils are well hydrated is obviously important and research has proved that it has a positive impact on pupil performance. 

Milk

As part of the Healthy Schools Guidance and general health awareness in Cwmdâr Primary School, children in Nursery to Year 2 are provided with a free carton of milk each day.  Please let us know if you do not wish your child to have this.
