ground

PHYSICAL HEALTH

  • Healthier eating:
  • Pupil-generated veggie recipes and cookbook
  • Waitrose supporting, aiming to secure a local celebrity chef:)

from time to time?

cake)

  • Edinburgh Community Food - monthly Friday lunchtime fruit and veg stall in school

playground?

  • Consideration of how PC can support school catering staff
