Healthy Pupils
Healthy Eating
Here at Reinwood Infant and Nursery School we are very keen to promote good health among our pupils. Our school lunches are excellent, providing healthy, nutritious and tasty food for your children – in fact we recently won a healthy eating Gold award for their standard.
For those bringing packed lunches we encourage healthy contents such as sandwiches, fruit and a drink - no sweets, bars of chocolate or cans of fizzy drinks. Milk is provided at mid-morning break, with children being given a piece of fruit in the afternoon.
As research proves that regular intake of water increases concentration levels, we also encourage children to drink water throughout the day.
National Healthy Schools Programme 
The National Healthy Schools programme was launched in October 1999 and is a joint initiative between the Department of Health and the Department for Children, Schools and Families.
It is an exciting long-term initiative that promotes the link between good health, behaviour and achievement. It is about creating happier, healthier children who do better in learning and in life.
By embracing this programme, Reinwood Infant and Nursery School was awarded National Healthy School Status (NHSS) in 2006.

Healthy Week
At Reinwood we always promote health & happiness for all our children in a wide and varied way. To further support their education we organised a ‘Be Healthy, Be Happy’ week. Each day we focused on a different theme.
‘Move it' Monday
Everyone began the day with a 5 minute workout in the playground. Children learnt all about the importance of being active, all about their bodies, what happens to the body after exercise.
'Tasty' Tuesday
Children learnt about such things as different foods, different food groups, the importance of healthy eating, what makes a healthy lunchbox and fruits from other countries.
'Well Being' Wednesday
Children learnt about what being healthy means, drama activities, all about feelings and circle time activities to develop self confidence.
'Take care' Thursday
Children learnt about how to keep themselves and others safe, making decisions, developing thinking skills, people who help to keep them safe in school and at home.
'Fresh Air' Friday
Children spent as much time outdoors as possible. All the children took part in a sponsored event.
Also as part of our walk to school month, we asked children to come to school on /with wheels (other than in a car), e.g. bikes, scooters, skateboards, dolls pram. The children were given the opportunity to ride/play with their ‘wheels’ some part of the day.
