Breaktime Snacks
Home Farm holds an ‘enhanced’ Healthy Schools award. At break, the children are encouraged to bring a piece of fruit to eat whilst out at play. They should not bring in sweets, crisps or chocolate bars.
The school participates in the Government’s fruit and vegetable scheme and every child in Reception and Key Stage 1 is offered a piece of fruit or vegetable each day at break.
At lunchtime, the children may bring a packed lunch or choose to have a school meal. Details of our school meals are here.
