Please send your child with a meat free lunch each day that you have not booked a school lunch.  This should be in a clearly named lunch box or bag.

 

Lunch should be a healthy, nutritious, balanced meal which will sustain your child throughout the afternoon.  

 

Clore Shalom promotes healthy eating in school.  Please avoid foods which contain an excessive amount of sugar, salt or fat e.g. sweetened yoghurts, fruit winders, standard crisps.
