HEALTHY CHOICES – HEALTHY CHILDREN

As you will be aware, Ravenor Primary School has run a number of initiatives to promote the health of the young people in our school.

Over the past few years, we have achieved the Bronze, Silver and Gold London Healthy Schools Awards. We are the first school in Ealing to achieve all awards and are very pleased that the work we have been doing to promote health has been recognised through the achievement of such prestigious awards.

Over the coming year, we will begin work on achieving our second Silver and Gold Healthy Schools London Awards. Our health focuses will be:

• Promoting Oral Hygiene: We will be having parent workshops this year based on oral hygiene and we will be having visits from a local dentist. We will also be focusing on oral hygiene during lessons.
• Promoting Healthy Body Images: We will be introducing specific lessons during Fitness Week to promote a healthy lifestyle and healthy body image.

PACKED LUNCH

Our ‘Packed Lunch’ policy and ‘Whole School Foods’ policy remain the same as they did last year. We would like to thank all the parents, pupils, staff and governors who contributed to the development of these policies, which can be found on our ‘Policies’ page or viewed by clicking on the documents below.

*****************************************************************************

Where, when and to whom the policy applies:

To all pupils and parents providing packed lunches to be consumed within school or on school visits, during normal school hours.

Food and drink in packed lunches:

As fridge space is not available in school, please send packed lunches in insulated bags with freezer blocks where possible.

Fruit and Vegetables: Apple, satsuma, cherry tomatoes, carrot sticks, cucumber, box of raisins
