Why is a healthy break important?

• _{Childhood is an important time to establish good eating and drinking habits for future health.}
•  _{School healthy eating schemes give pupils the knowledge and opportunity to make healthier choices.} 
• _{Teachers have suggested that a healthy snack at break time can help with pupils’ concentration and behaviour in the classroom.}
•  _{It encourages suitable drinks and snacks to help prevent tooth decay.}

If a child requires a special diet that will not allow the guidance to
be met exactly, please discuss with your School

We ask that all children come to school with a healthy break each day. 

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
