Healthy Schools

HTPS is a Healthy School

In 2019, we achieved the re-accreditation of the National Quality Award for Healthy Schools. We are very proud of this and have helped other schools towards the same goal. No crisps, chocolate or sweets are allowed in school. Instead we provide healthy eating snack bar which sells fruit. We are allowed to drink water whenever we want and can buy water bottles from Mrs. Perry for just £1. However, children are not allowed to bring squash, orange juice or energy drinks to school.

Every child can have a piece of toast and sometimes fruit if they want it.

All of these things help the children to concentrate. Nutritional standards and requirements are met and drinking water is available.

Foundation Phase pupils receive free milk.

All children are encouraged to take part in physical activities at play time and lunchtime.

We are also very proud to run the School Holiday Enrichment Programme during the summer holidays. It is a school-based education programme that provides food and nutrition education, physical activity, enrichment sessions and healthy meals to children and families at our school during the school summer holidays. The children absolutely love this programme. Visit @ShepHtps on Twitter for some wonderful pictures and photos of our recent holiday programme.

Please ring Mrs. Marsh or Mrs Jones if you have any questions about our healthy schools policy.
