No nuts or chocolate

MANY CHOCOLATE SPREADS CONTAIN HAZELNUTS – THIS MAY NOT BE OBVIOUS ON THE CONTAINER

 

The school does have pupils with serious allergies THAT ARE LIFE THREATENING. Pupils at particular risk are those with nut allergies, and in our case we do have pupils that require epipens for extreme anaphylactic reaction to nuts.

 

As a result I must enforce the following rulings:

  • Children are not to bring products to school that contain nuts (Products worded as ‘contains nuts’ or ‘may contain nuts’ are not allowed. Some products are packaged as ‘may contain nut trace’, which is not the same and are allowed)
  • Children are to be instructed not to share any snacks or packed lunches with any children.
  • Chocolate is not allowed under our Healthy School status, but also because many  may contain nuts.

 

Staff will confiscate items they believe are a nut risk.

 

Our primary concern in school is the safeguarding of pupils and I must insist that for the safety of others, this ruling is adhered to. Remember, items believed to contain nut products will be confiscated. I thank you on behalf of those pupils affected
