Healthy Schools

Our school pledges a commitment to tackling health inequalities and improving the health and wellbeing of the children and young people and families in our community.

Working with the ECFWS Healthy Schools Team, we will strive to exceed Healthy Schools  standard expectations by expanding our offer, embedding best practice and facilitating exemplary outcomes for our children and young people.

Remember to bring a healthy snack and water bottle to school each day.

A healthy snack is a piece of fruit or vegetables, plain breadsticks, plain rice cakes or plain popcorn each day.

 Try to bring a combination of fruits in different colours as part of your five-a-day and our aim to 'Eat a Rainbow'.

School packed lunches should be healthy and cover a range of food groups. Your child could have a sandwich, wrap or salad then a piece of fruit or yoghurt for dessert.

To help children understand which foods are treats and that treats are not eaten at every meal, we call Friday 'Treat Day'. This means that a packed lunch may contain one item that isn't eaten normally every day such as a packet of crisps or a shop- bought cake or chocolate biscuit. The treat must still be balanced out with other healthy foods. Although Friday lunchtime is treat lunch day, packed lunches must never contain sweets, fizzy drinks or a bar of chocolate.
