Healthy Food

At Oakridge, we are committed to championing healthy eating throughout the school day. 

School Lunches

Our school meals are provided by North Yorkshire Catering which offers healthy, locally sourced food which is certified to Food for Life Bronze standard and fully compliant with the Government mandatory School Food Standards.

We are proud of our family service model where our older pupils serve at the table encouraging independence, discussions around food and nurturing relationships between our pupils.

Where children do have packed lunches, we encourage them to be as healthy as possible. Click here to access the NHS Change4life healthier lunch boxes website. 

After lunchtime, children in Acorn Class brush their teeth to develop good oral hygiene habits in the early years. 

Food throughout the School Day

Every morning, we run a free breakfast club where children are offered a bowl of cereal. 

All of our pupils are offered fresh fruit every day at morning breaktime. Children in EYFS also receive a cup of milk. 

Children grow, cook and taste food as part of our Garden School curriculum. 

We have an afterschool cooking club. 

Healthy Eating

Our pupils learn about the importance of healthy eating through our science, PSHE and garden school curriculum. 

We ensure our pupils take part in events and trips that provide opportunities to further their understanding of making healthy lifestyle choices. 

The Bread and Butter Thing

We work with The Bread and Butter Thing to provide our families - and the wider community - with access to affordable, nutritious food.
