Healthy School’s Gold Standard Award
We are immensely proud to have achieved the Gold Standard Healthy School Award in June 2024. This award is given to schools after an assessment which includes promoting healthy eating, providing a wide range of healthy and nutritious food, educating our young people and encouraging mental health and wellbeing through food.
Our School Cook Jenny North works hard to plan and sustain a well balanced and healthy menu that provides choice and variety. She has introduced a ‘World Food Wednesday’ when pupils get to experience cuisines and cultures from around the world. Pupils are encouraged to speak to Jenny about their preferences by way of a ‘Suggestion Box’.
Our pupils also get to experience developing and preparing their own culinary masterpieces during Food Studies. Pupils are able to use equipment such as the air fryer to enable them to feel confident and gain resilience in the kitchen.
