We aim to promote healthy living at Carrowdore Primary school! We have delicious, nutritionally balanced meals, freshly prepared on the premises by our dedicated Dinner Ladies, Julie, Laura and Sarah!
We are committed to promoting healthy eating through a whole school approach to food and nutrition; and enabling pupils to make informed choices about the food they eat. We aim to offer food and drink that reflects the healthy eating message, reduces the amount of fat, salt and sugar children consume, and increases their intake of fruit and vegetables.
In particular:
We like to keep fit in Carrowdore Primary school, with a range of activities provided to suit each Key Stage.
P.E. is an integral part of the school curriculum, and every class follows an age appropriate, well planned scheme of work, providing a balanced range of activities and showing progression in essential skills.
We participate in the Mile a Day initiative - encouraging our pupils (and staff) to get out and be active for 15 minutes each day.
We provide a variety of sporting opportunities at Carrowdore Primary School. We offer competitive sport to encourage teamwork, discipline, self-respect and how to cope with winning and losing. We seek out links with local sports clubs and providers and offer these when available.
We want children’s experiences in school to lay the foundation for an active lifestyle and an understanding of the importance of exercise in keeping healthy. We also promote active play during break times, providing a range of play equipment in each playground.
