Healthy Schools

The Healthy Schools Scheme

The school has been awarded the 'Healthy School' Award twice.

We are pleased to be able to advise parents that we are part of The National School Fruit/Vegetable Scheme (NSFS) which has been set up by the Department of Health to supply free fruit daily to children aged 4 to 6 years.

The children will receive one sort of fruit each day, (apples, pears, bananas, easy peel citrus fruits, cherry tomatoes, carrots), which will be delivered to school three times a week, and stored in the canteen cold room.

You may, if you wish opt out of your child receiving fruit/vegetables. Obviously fruit with an edible peel will be washed before consumption, and carrots will be peeled.

We will ask you to sign a permission slip to ensure that you know about the scheme and will ask about any allergies.
