Information for Parents

It is really important for children to have a healthy, balanced diet. This means that snacks brought in to school must be fruit or vegetables, and packed lunches brought to school must contain the following:

• bread, other cereals, rice, pasta or potato
• fruit and vegetables
• milk and dairy (or vegan alternatives)
• high quality meat, fish (or vegetarian alternatives)

The table below shows how much of each food group children should be eating.
