Healthy Eating

How your child eats today can have a huge impact on their health throughout adolescence and adulthood. Eating food containing important nutrients helps children grow, and is essential for children’s mental and physical development.

At our school we want to encourage healthy eating, children may bring healthy snacks such as fruit or cereal bars to snack on at playtime.

Free fruit and vegatables are offered to children aged 4-7 years under the Government School Fruit and Veg Scheme.
