No Products Containing Nuts

It has been agreed that from Monday, 2nd September 2019 students and parents must not bring any products that contain nuts as a main ingredient in to school. We are also aiming to raise awareness within school regarding allergies and the severity they pose to some students. We would appreciate parents and carers supporting us with the awareness and impacts of allergies by sharing information with your child/children at home.

We have a number of students in our school who suffer from severe nut allergies and require emergency medication. For those who have severe allergies, coming in to contact with a nut product, can cause life threatening consequences. It can be easily contracted from a simple handshake or touching of a pupil’s table who may have had some nuts in their food.
