Healthy Schools
The school is involved in the ‘Herefordshire Healthy Schools Partnership aimed at promoting both physical and emotional health.  Our school has achieved Level 3 National Healthy Schools standard and been awarded a plaque and Certificates recognising that we meet Healthy Schools criteria in Sex and Relationships Education, Drug Education, Healthy Eating and Physical activity.

As a school we aim to give children the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to lead healthy lives, not just through what is taught but also the school's organisation and 'whole school' environment.

Healthy choices are promoted across the curriculum. Children participate in food technology days, science work about the human body and the environment and in a variety of activities in P.E., including swimming, dance and gymnastics.

After school activities continue the promotion of a health lifestyle through various sport clubs and a cookery club based on healthy eating. The school council is active in encouraging children to make healthy choices.
