Healthy snacks

The children have met as a pupil voice group and obtained the views of their peers to see what snacks they feel should and should not be allowed. They have compiled quite an extensive list ensuring there is something for everyone. If you have any other ideas for healthy snacks please share them with your pupil voice representatives.

 

 

Developing Physical Health and Well-being

We believe that good physical health is essential for children to be mentally healthy and ready to learn each day. At our school, we help pupils understand how sleep, food, and physical activity are all important parts of a healthy lifestyle. Through our curriculum and wider school offer, we support children in building strong habits that keep both their bodies and minds healthy.

Every child takes part in at least two hours of physical activity each week through high-quality PE lessons. In addition to this, children are encouraged to join a wide range of out-of-school activities such as basketball, cross country, football, hockey, tennis, and gardening. Families are welcome too, Mr Hurford runs a popular parents' running group that has been going strong for several years.

As well as physical activity, we teach children how enough sleep, good nutrition, and positive lifestyle choices can help them feel more focused, energised, and emotionally balanced. Our aim is to equip pupils with the confidence and understanding they need to make informed choices for lifelong health and well-being.

Progression Step 1 (Nursery and Reception)

In the early years, children learn the names of their body parts, how their bodies move, and begin to understand simple hygiene routines such as washing hands and brushing teeth. Through play, movement, and outdoor learning, they develop coordination, balance, and control. They begin to recognise the importance of eating well, sleeping enough, and staying active to feel strong and happy.

Progression Step 2 (Years 1 to 3)

Children build on their understanding of healthy choices by learning about different food groups and what makes a balanced meal. They explore how exercise affects the body and how regular movement can support both physical and mental well-being. In PE and outdoor learning, they practise skills like teamwork, coordination, and stamina. They start to notice how healthy habits help them concentrate, feel calm, and enjoy learning.

Progression Step 3 (Years 4 to 6)

Older children begin to understand the longer-term impact of lifestyle choices. They learn about body changes, including puberty, and how both the body and brain respond to healthy routines. They explore how to build a personal fitness plan, set achievable goals, and take responsibility for their physical health. They also reflect on how their choices, such as screen time, rest, and activity, affect their emotions, sleep patterns, and learning readiness.
