Sweets for Birthdays

We appreciate that children are really excited on their birthday and are very keen to share their enjoyment with their friends and with this in mind, we have reviewed the decision on sweets being brought in to school for such events. Sweets can be brought in to school to be handed out to peers, if they are individually wrapped and handed directly to the class teacher in the morning. These will then be wiped down and a pack will be placed by a member of staff that is wearing gloves, on to each child's desk for home time. We will then remind children that they must bring them out and talk to their parents before eating them.
