“We were asked by our local education authority to take part in a project called NutriSkill.
Initially it was with our year 1 children, and it proved so successful when they were learning all about healthy living, a nutritious balanced diet and all the other elements attached to that, such as activity, sports, exercise, that we decided to incorporate it into our year 1 curriculum, but also to include it as a whole school project for PSHE. So the whole school has taken part in some aspect of healthy living, healthy schools, healthy nutrition, and it has proved most successful.
I feel it is a huge and important part of the children’s curriculum to learn from a very early age, the importance of eating a healthy, balanced and nutritious diet.
As a head teacher, I feel it is a great, important part of the curriculum to look at all aspects of healthy eating – children taking it from a very early age, so that it is built into their lifestyle and they can take it through into adulthood with them.
It [NutriSkill] has made them hugely aware of the benefits of that. It is not just about eating vegetables, it is about lots of other things as well. We are aiming for the same goal; that is producing children who are active, enjoy life and live it to the full.”

"I like the quality and range of materials and the children have a growing knowledge and awareness of healthy eating.
The resources are very good and enable teachers to present exciting and meaningful lessons."
