We are a totally Nut and Sesame Free School:

Although we recognise that this cannot be guaranteed, Cupernham Infant School aims to be a strict Nut and Sesame Free school to reduce the risk to those children and adults who may suffer a reaction if exposed to nuts and sesame to which they are sensitive.

• Please do not allow nuts, nut products or sesame products in lunch boxes that are brought in from home. Our “Nut & Sesame Free School” means that the following items should not be brought into school:
  • Packs of nuts
  • Peanut butter sandwiches
  • Chocolate Spread (made with nuts) sandwiches
  • Fruit and cereal bars that contain nuts
  • Chocolate bars or sweets that contain nuts
  • Sesame seeds i.e. rolls (children allergic to nuts may also have a severe reaction to sesame)
  • Cakes made with nuts
  • Cakes or biscuits made with coconut oil (children allergic to cashews may also have a severe reaction to coconut)

We do not use nuts in any of our food prepared on site at our school. Our suppliers provide us with nut-free products. However, we cannot guarantee freedom from nut traces.

We also cannot give out any sweets or cakes brought in from home to be given out as birthday treats.
