Latest News - Healthy Eating

12th May 2026
At school, we want the pupils to be as 'ready to learn' as they can be! Lots of healthy habits can help with this - active playing outdoors, reading stories as a family, avoiding too much device use, and of course, getting good sleep!
The Department of Education NI has released the following image which gives some advice on how many hours of sleep are required for each age group, and things to avoid before bed. Getting plenty of good quality sleep can really help your child with their learning!

Several weeks back we had a Healthy Eating week in our school canteen. During this time, pupils had the chance to try new food, salads etc and many of these went down a treat! Recently, the EA Catering Service produced a booklet of healthier recipes to be shared with families. Each week as part of our healthy eating focus in school, a new recipe will be posted. We would encourage you to give these a go. This week, we are starting with one of our canteen favourites - our cheese and tomato pizza!
If you make it, why not post your photo to our Facebook post?
