🚨 Allergy Awareness: Keeping Our Children Safe 💙

At Alpha Academies Trust, creating a safe and inclusive environment for every single child is at the heart of everything we do. To help protect our pupils who live with severe allergies, please take a moment to review our trust-wide allergen guidance shown in the graphic.

A friendly reminder for parents and carers:

🎂 Birthdays & Celebrations: Please do not send in homemade baked goods, sweets, or treats from home to share with the class, as we cannot verify ingredients or guarantee cross-contamination safety.

⭐ Rewards in School: Our teaching staff will always use non-food treats to celebrate achievements and hard work in the classroom.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership in helping us keep all of our children safe, healthy, and included every day! 🤝✨
