Dear Parents,

It is school policy that nuts or crisps of any description are not allowed in school. There are many reasons for this but the main reason is that there are a number of children throughout the school who are allergic to nuts/crisps and if they come in contact with these they are prone to a life threatening anaphylactic shock. Whether those children are in your child’s class or not is irrelevant because children mingle with each other throughout the day in classrooms and in yard.
Any breaching of this rule will be treated as a gross misbehaviour.
