School Lunches- Sugar Reduction Pilot

30 March 2017 (by admin)

See the 'School Lunches' page on our website to find information about our healthy new starters and to see if your child could be eligible to receive free school meals.

We will be a pilot school for the 'Sugar Reduction Project'. This means that we are going to trial having a starter instead of a pudding on two days of the week. One of the days will be a bread starter and the other day will be a dip starter. The reason for this is to reduce the amount of sugar that we eat each day. We know that too much sugar adds additional calories to our diet which is not good for our weight and is also bad for the heart. There are only five other schools in the city taking part in this project. Our School Parliament members, having already trialled the new starters, reported that this was a welcome change to the menu! They said that the new starters are delicious!
