We love celebrating every child’s birthday in a way that is:

✅ Healthy✅ Inclusive✅ Thoughtful for all families

Sharing sweets, cakes or chocolates is not encouraged, as this can lead to children having these treats multiple times a week.

🌟 How We Celebrate

🎈 Special recognition in class👕 Wear your own clothes on your birthday (or a chosen day if it falls on a weekend/holiday)

🎁 Bringing Something In? (Optional)

🚫 No expectation to bring anything

🚫 No sweets, chocolate or cake

✅ If you wish to share something, please choose non-edible items, such as:

✏️ Pencils🌟 Stickers📎 Small stationery items

🤝 Why This Matters

🥗 Supports healthy eating habits

🛡️ Keeps children with allergies safe

💙 Reduces pressure on families

🌍 Creates a fair and inclusive approach

🗣️ Pupil Voice

Our School Council supports: 👉 Wearing own clothes as the main celebration 👉 Moving away from sweets to healthier, non-food options

🙏 Thank You

We appreciate your support in helping us create a healthy, inclusive and joyful way to celebrate every child.
