Trafalgar Castle School has several students with anaphylactic allergies to peanuts and nuts. Exposure to even a tiny amount of these foods can be life-threatening. To date, avoidance is the only way to prevent anaphylaxis to foods. To help protect students with life-threatening allergies, Trafalgar Castle School has a Nut-Aware Policy in place. All nut and/or nut-derivative products, including peanuts, walnuts, cashews, almonds and all other tree nuts, are prohibited from the school premises, including the boarding residence.

The School purchases food from Aramark suppliers who comply with Trafalgar Castle’s Nut-Aware policy. All food labels are checked for peanuts/nuts upon delivery to the school. All foods served at Trafalgar Castle School are prepared in our Nut-Aware kitchen facility.

Although we have prohibited peanut and nut products in the school, Trafalgar cannot guarantee a completely allergen-free environment. Anaphylactic students are still expected to use precautions in all areas of the school.

To ensure the safety of all students, it is important to READ ALL FOOD LABELS and eliminate any peanut or nut products. Accidents happen when foods labelled "may contain" or "traces of" are brought into the school. All members of the School community have a shared responsibility in abiding by this Nut-Aware Policy.

Congratulations to our talented kitchen staff.
