Allergy UK research states that around 5-8% of children in the UK live with a food allergy, and most school classrooms will have at least one allergic pupil. These young people are at risk of anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening reaction which requires an immediate emergency response.

Common allergic triggers include nuts, cow’s milk and other
foods, venom from bee and wasp stings.

We cannot have nuts in school in any form.

So please do not put any nut products in your child’s packed lunch or give them a snack containing nuts. There are many other products that can present a risk, so please check the packaging of products closely.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to speak to a member of staff.
