Food For Life

If children eat better, they feel better, play better and work better. At Great Meols Primary School our healthy eating policy is carefully designed to ensure all children enjoy access to a nutritional and carefully balanced diet whilst on school premises.

Our suppliers – Midshire Signature Services, have the following approach:

Our approach is to fully understand the preferences of our schools and the facilities available and make sure the food we provide can be tailored to the pupils needs. Our dieticians and cooks along with our Saffron system ensure our meals are nutritionally balanced, creative and appealing to children, meeting all the requirements of the Department of Education School Food Standards. We work in close conjunction with parents and carers of pupils with medical dietary requirements to ensure that their individual needs are met and we support our schools in encouraging their pupils to eat healthily through learning initiatives and we provide a range of modules designed to help them to understand food, nutrition and what this means to our bodies.

In the classroom, children are taught cooking skills and are given the food education they need for good health and to reach their full potential.
