Promoting Healthy Lifestyles at Vermont School

At Vermont School, we are committed to promoting healthy lifestyles and supporting our pupils to make positive choices around food, health, and wellbeing. A balanced diet plays a key role in helping children to learn effectively, concentrate in class, and maintain good physical and emotional health.

We are proud to be working towards the Southampton Healthy High 5 Award, which recognises schools that embed health and wellbeing at the heart of daily school life. This involves creating a culture that encourages pupils to eat well, stay active, look after their mental health, and develop lifelong healthy habits.

As part of our approach, we provide pupils with healthy snacks both in the morning and afternoon, ensuring they have access to nutritious options throughout the school day. This supports focus, energy levels, and positive routines.

Our commitment to health goes beyond food, it is embedded across the curriculum and daily routines, helping every pupil to develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to lead a healthy and active life.
