📢 IMPORTANT REMINDER FOR PARENTS & CARERS 📢

A quick reminder to all families that Dyke House is a strictly nut-free school. We have pupils with severe nut allergies, so your cooperation is vital in keeping everyone safe.
Please ensure that your child does not bring any food ...items into school that contain nuts or traces of nuts.

❌ Examples of items that are NOT allowed include:

• Nutella (and other chocolate hazelnut spreads)
• Snickers
• Kinder Bueno
• Peanut butter
• Cereal bars or bakery goods containing nuts

🔍 Packed Lunches: If your child brings a packed lunch, please check the packaging on all items beforehand to ensure they are nut-free.

Thank you so much for your continued support and help in keeping our school community safe!
