Healthy Eating at School

On a serious note, at Rise Park Primary, we are proud of our reputation as a 'Heathy School' and of our Healthy School Accreditations. Unfortunately, in recent times we have seen an increase in unhealthy snacks at break times and unsuitable lunches provided for some children.

Examples of what we have seen in lunch boxes:
- Family sized crisp packets.
- Multi-pack of penguin bars.
- Fizzy drinks
- Cinema sized bags of skittles/malteasers.


I'm sure you all agree that the above examples are disappointing and not appropriate to have in school. Like you, we want the best for the children and for them to grow up healthy, making good lifestyle choices. It is therefore important that together home and school set good examples to the children. Treats are fine, a chocolate lunch is not! Thank you for your support with this issue.
