Healthy Eating Guidance


People’s patterns of behaviour are often set early in life and influence their health throughout their lives.  Healthy Eating is an important part of everyone’s health and wellbeing.  A balanced diet in childhood can help protect against chronic diseases later in life.  The following links provide guidance on the latest healthy eating information helping your school to deliver a consistent approach to education and whole school change.
