Nut-Free Policy
November 2023
As a school we have looked at the pros and cons of becoming nut-free. Through this policy, the
school aims to protect children who have allergies to nuts yet also empower them, as they grow up,
to take responsibility as to what foods they can eat and to be aware of where they may be put at
risk. Although we recognise that this cannot be guaranteed, Sandbank Primary aims to be a nut-free
school. This policy serves to set out all the whole-school measures to reduce the risk to those
children and adults who may suffer an anaphylactic reaction if exposed to nuts to which they are
sensitive.
