Little sparks have magic moments

Our school attained this status in 2008, by demonstrating our commitment to developing, maintaining and promoting the health of the members of our school community.

Under this scheme, funded by the Department of Health, four to six year old children at our school are entitled to a free piece of fruit or vegetable, each school day.

Year Six children run a fruit stall at morning break times. The children are responsible for buying, preparing, pricing and selling the fruit.

To promote the health, wellbeing and learning opportunities of all pupils, we want to ensure that children have access to fresh drinking water at all times during the day. The PTA kindly provides the children in Reception with water bottles. In other classes, children are encouraged to bring in a water bottle daily and to take regular drinks.

Devon has been awarded the Food For Life Bronze Catering Mark and this recognises that school children are being offered delicious, healthy and climate friendly school dinners. Fresh Start Menus are made available to parents and children and these weekly menues are based around providing 'a good quality balanced meal using freshly prepared ingredients, sourced locally wherever possible.'
