Healthy School
As part of our Governing Body Responsibilities and recommendation from Estyn, we will therefore only allow fruit/vegetable/cereal bar/yoghurt/cheese snacks at break time. Water and non-carbonated fruit drinks are also the only drinks we recommend children have in school. They have full access to water throughout the day.
Gilwern School strives to be a healthy school. We encourage drinking water, washing hands and eating healthily. Help your child to stay healthy by following these guidelines below:
It is recommended that clear purpose-made sports-style bottles are used and are clearly labelled with the pupil's name. Bottles should be kept on pupil's desks or for younger pupils stored in a crate in the classroom. Bottles are for water only. Bottles are sent home daily to be cleaned, they should be washed in warm soapy water, the sports caps scrubbed with a brush, and bottles left to air-dry upside down in a hygienic place; or they can be washed in a dishwasher if the bottles are suitable.
At Gilwern we are building healthy bodies and healthy minds.
