Health and Well-being

Health and well-being is central to the ethos of the school. Fresh fruit is available throughout the day as is fresh juice and salads. And least two vegetables are served with each meal and wholemeal or brown bread is available for breakfast and supper. No food is cooked in deep fat fryers (sorry, no chips!) and a vegetarian option is available at every meal. Meals are prepared on site only using fresh ingredients and when in season these come from the school's own vegetable garden which are grown by the children themselves. 

Food of course, is only one aspect of a healthy life style and exercise also plays an important part in the lives of the children. This can range from having fun on the adventure playground during break-time; walking the 'boundary walk'; cycling; swimming; canoeing; rock climbing,  abseiling; as well as long distance walking (see The Long Trek), hill-walking and mountaineering. During the summer term all the children have the opportunity to go off on an Activity Week which can even include learning survival skills in the woods!
