St Mary's Healthy Schools
A healthy school is a happy school. An effective school is a healthy school. At St. Mary’s, we promote physical, mental and emotional health and wellbeing.
St Mary's is part of the Healthy Schools Network. A health promoting school is one which actively promotes and protects the physical, mental and social health and well-being of its community through positive action by such means as policy, strategic planning and staff development with regard to its curriculum, ethos, physical environment and community relations.
We encourage healthy food choices to be brought in as part of pupils’ packed lunches.
Pupils are advised to bring a water bottle to school on a daily basis. This helps them to concentrate throughout the day.
We would also like to remind you that St. Mary’s is a NUT FREE school. Please be aware when packing lunches. Diolch!
Snacks and Drinks in School
We encourage all children to bring healthy snacks and drinks into school. Fruit and vegetables should be the only snack at break times. Water should be provided every day.
