Our school has achieved a Food for Life Silver Award, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to providing healthy, sustainable food and creating a positive food culture across the whole school community. This award recognises the significant steps we have taken beyond the Bronze standard to connect children with where their food comes from and to develop their understanding of healthy, sustainable food choices.
As a Food for Life Silver school we:
- Have a whole-school approach to food that promotes healthy eating, food education and sustainability through a comprehensive school food policy.
- Meet the Food for Life Served Here Bronze standards, ensuring our meals are freshly prepared, nutritious and made using seasonal ingredients.
- Involve pupils, parents and the wider school community in shaping school food provision and improving the lunchtime experience.
- Provide opportunities for all pupils to take part in food growing, cooking and farm visits, helping them understand where food comes from.
- Promote food education across the curriculum, developing pupils' knowledge and skills around healthy eating, cooking and sustainable food production.
- Source and celebrate local, seasonal and responsibly produced food wherever possible.
- Engage children in regular practical food experiences, including growing, harvesting, preparing and tasting fresh produce.
- Work closely with catering providers, families and local partners to create a positive food culture that supports the health and wellbeing of all pupils.
This achievement reflects our commitment to helping children develop lifelong healthy eating habits while understanding the importance of sustainable food choices and caring for the environment.
We are delighted to announce that our school has become a Jigsaw Flagship School! This is a wonderful recognition of our commitment to supporting the wellbeing, personal development and emotional health of all our pupils. Through our use of the Jigsaw programme, we continue to provide children with opportunities to develop confidence, resilience, positive relationships and an understanding of themselves and others. Becoming a Flagship School reflects the importance we place on nurturing the whole child and creating a caring, inclusive school community where every child can flourish.
