Academy Lunchtime Menus

By actively promoting fresh produce and creating an interest in the food we offer, we naturally steer students and staff towards the healthier choices on our menus.

Our aim is to improve the overall knowledge and awareness of healthy eating, and provide our students with the options so they can make an informed choice.

We also have a range of activities that allow us to help educate students on where food comes from.

Our Lunch Menu works on a three-week cycle to make sure there is variety and choice. Click the links below to download our lunch menus.

BRONTE GIRLS' AIMS TO BE A NUT FREE SCHOOL

People who suffer from nut allergies can develop a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction.

If someone has a nut allergy it is not just eating nuts that can cause a severe reaction, just being touched on the skin or smelling the breath of someone who has had nuts or a product containing nuts can trigger anaphylactic shock (which can cause breathing and swallowing difficulties).

First aid staff in the school are trained to use Epi-pens (an injection of adrenalin) which is required immediately if this happens.

To help us keep our pupils safe, please do not bring nuts or products containing nuts onto the school premises.

This includes:

• Peanuts
• Tree nuts (e.g. almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, cashews)
• Nut-based snacks and spreads

Thank you for your support in helping us provide a safe environment for students with severe allergies.

Please check food labels carefully before sending snacks or packed lunches.
