Find examples of notices you can send to parents to let them know about your school's no-nuts approach if you have pupils with allergies.
Examples of letters
Primary school
In a letter to parents, Westwood Community Primary School explains that nut allergies can lead to potentially life-threatening allergic reactions.
The letter lists foods that should not be brought to school, such as:
- Chocolate spreads
- Some granola bars
- Sauces that contain nuts
- Some Asian foods, such as satay

The Highfield School has a note about nut allergies in the ‘parents & carers’ section of its website.
It reminds parents that the school is nut-free (including sesame seeds).
