PANTS Campaign
Every year, across the school, the children are reminded of the PANTS campaign by PANTOSAURUS! They are also asked to identify trusted adults both at home and school, who they can talk to should they need to.
SugarSmart
SugarSmart
We are now a 'SugarSmart' school! St Paul's recognises that for the first time in history that there are more people who are overweight than underweight and children today are predicted to be the first generation to live shorter lives than their parents due to diet and inactivity. 1 in 3 children enter secondary school overweight or obese and St Paul's wants to encourage a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, all classes are encouraged to participate in 'The Golden Mile' - an initiative to run as many miles as possible over the course of a school year - and to monitor the amount of sugar we eat.
A whole school 'SugarSmart' competition was launched where children were able to create a project that offered healthy alternatives to some sugary treats. Check out our entrance hall display for some of the winners!
Each class participated in lessons that looked at being 'SugarSmart'. Some classes looked a food labels, others had homework which required finding lower sugar alternatives to food sucha s yoghurt and baked beans and some classes even made their own low sugar treats!
