Healthy Lifestyles and Nut Allergies

At Royds Hall we promote healthy lifestyle choices to ensure that all our students are able to make informed and responsible choices later in life. 

Drinks:  

The school dining room sells still water.  Students are permitted to bring their own refillable water bottles.

These drinks can be consumed in the school dining room and playground at break and lunchtime. Students can drink still, unflavoured water only in lessons. Energy drinks, fizzy drinks and drinks in glass bottles are not permitted anywhere on the school site.  If students are found consuming these drinks on the school site, the drink will be confiscated. Drinks are not to be consumed in the corridors and a B3 30 minute after school detention will be issued for any students found doing this. 

Chewing gum: 

To protect the school environment, chewing gum is not permitted anywhere on the school grounds. If students are found to be consuming chewing gum, they will be asked to put it in the bin and will receive a B3 30 minute after school detention. 

Food: 

The school dining room serves a range of healthy, hot and cold meals. Students are also welcome to bring their own packed lunch to school, provided it is of a balanced and healthy nature and represents the “Eat well” plate.

Items such as pot noodles, sharing bags of crisps and tubes of Pringles and high sugar foods, such as sweets and sharing bags/bars of chocolate are not permitted anywhere on the school site. 

NUT ALLERGY INFORMATION

Royds Hall has a number of students with severe nut allergies. As a result, staff and students are not permitted to bring any items into school which contain any nuts. This includes ingredients for Food Technology lessons.
