Healthy Eating

"Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food" - Hippocrates

“The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition.” Thomas Edison 

Promoting Cultural Capital through Healthy Eating

At Kates Hill, we believe that cultural capital is fundamental to every child because cultural capital is the essential knowledge that children need to prepare them for their future success. It is about giving children the best possible start to their early education.

With this in mind, we promote Healthy Eating from the moment the children walk into school to the moment they leave. It starts with breakfast club, followed by healthy snacks at play time – with fresh fruit being offered to all the children in Nursery, Reception and Years 1 and 2. This is then followed by lunchtime, where an increasingly wide and varied choice of food is on offer.

However, Healthy Eating is also very much part of our DT, Science and PSHE curriculum – as without health and healthy food, our children will not be able to make the most of their education.
