Eating & Sleeping Properly

 

Children who eat a nutritionally balanced diet and take their meals at regular times are more likely to be able to concentrate and learn at a satisfactory rate at school. Healthy, alert children arrive at school having eaten breakfast. Any child that comes to school without having taken breakfast is unlikely to have the same degree of energy and consequently their learning is likely to suffer.

All children require an appropriate amount of sleep each night so they are wide awake at school next day. We are happy to recommend suitable bedtimes to any parent who would like some support with this matter or feel that their child is going to bed too late.
