The school helps students to have the confidence, skills and understanding to make healthy food choices. Healthy and nutritious food is made available at breakfast time and lunchtime.

Some of the things that we have done as a school are

• appointed a person who oversees the delivery of Food technology lessons.
• Had a food focus group made up of staff and students who focused on thinking about food served in the canteen.
• Introduced a cashless system which has speeded up queues and improved safety as students don't
have to carry money. It also allows staff and parents to monitor food that students eat !!!! (on request)
• Vending machines have been taken away to help students make healthier food choices
• Revision clubs and after school clubs are offering healthy snacks.
• Drinking water is readily available around the site and students are encouraged to drink water during lessons if appropriate.

Links to primary schools are being made by using Moodle and various healthy eating activities are available including competitions for primary students from our link schools.

We are planning to make the canteen menus available on line so that parents can be more informed about the choices available for students.
