Food and nutrition

A good diet promotes concentration and overall health. Schools play a vital role in educating pupils to eat healthily and in upholding nutritional standards.

The Blueprint for Health sets out a whole-school approach to health that includes nutrition and school meals as well as exercise, mental health and learning about health through the curriculum. Download it from Online Publications.
