Healthy Eating Matters

At St. John’s, we believe that healthy, delicious meals are essential for children’s learning and well-being. That’s why we are proud to partner with Stir, who provide nutritious, balanced meals every day.

Hands-On Learning with Stir

Stir also provides fantastic workshops for our pupils! Recently, every class took part in a cutlery skills session, learning the phrase “stick, slide, and saw” to help them cut food independently. They also practised safe handling and clearing away. Using beetroot, cucumber, and apple, the children developed their skills before enjoying a healthy snack. Chef Jim made the experience even more fun with plenty of jokes and laughter!

Encouraging Healthy Eating

We believe that developing healthy eating habits from a young age is essential for lifelong well-being. Stir supports this by ensuring all meals meet high nutritional standards while also making lunchtime an enjoyable and social experience. They promote a balanced diet by offering a variety of wholesome, freshly prepared meals and encouraging children to try new foods. Our school works alongside Stir to teach pupils about the importance of healthy choices, portion control, and table manners. Through their engaging workshops and interactive sessions, children gain valuable skills that empower them to be more independent and confident with their food choices.
