The School has achieved 'The Healthy School Award' and actively strives to promote Health Education through weekly lessons and themed weeks.

Our monthly newsletter home contains a healthy schools page to inform parents/carers of updates.  As a school we take part in Comic Relief and other fundraising to support citizenship.

Our class and school councils meet regularly.  To help support the welfare of children we operate a Nurture room and elect 'Buddies' to help solve breaktime problems.

A review of the tuck shop has taken place recently, and after feedback from questionaires, the children are now able to purchase healthier snacks such as freshly made toast, yoghurts, freshfruit and sandwiches.

We are a SEAL school (social and emotional aspects of learning) and follow the materials provided for this subject with a view to developing family activities.

After an intense course of staff training children now regularly take part in Circle Time to develop social skills and to help solve problems or conflicts within the playground.
