Please be very aware that we have members of staff and some children in school who have a nut allergy.  Nuts and peanuts can cause allergic reactions, which are sometimes severe.  A severe reaction to nuts is called anaphylaxis and can be life-threatening.  Symptoms often start quickly, within an hour of coming into contact with a nut, and sometimes within minutes.  Avoiding foods that contain nuts will prevent an allergic reaction.  As a consequence of this, we would ask all parents to ensure that nuts or nut-based products (i.e. chocolate spread & peanut butter) are not sent into school in lunch boxes.
