A Health Promoting School
November 14, 2018
For the past 16 years we have worked together with pupils and parents actively to be a Health Promoting school. We have been awarded 10 consecutive Gold Awards from the Save our Smiles programme.
Although this programme has sadly come to an end we still fully participate in its values and aims.
All pupils from P1-P7 brush their teeth daily and there is a complete ban on foods and drinks deemed as 'unhealthy'.
We work in partnership with the community dental nurse and more recently the local dentist and pharmacist.

We are currently working towards receiving a Gold Award in June 2020
