Wrexham schools take part in Appetite for Life scheme

27th April 2010, 9:25am

Seven healthy eating projects are now underway in primary and secondary schools across Wrexham County Borough Council.

The projects are designed to encourage children to choose and eat healthy food at school and rise to the challenge of the Change4Life Campaign.

Each project follows the Appetite for Life programme designed to encourage healthier school meals. 

All Appetite for Life primary schools in Wrexham have been given a mini makeover to encourage take-up of school meals.

Infant children from one primary school are currently being treated to a restaurant dining experience. During their lunchtime, the children sit at laid tables and the food is brought out in serving bowls and placed in the centre of each table.  Lunchtime Supervisors then serve out the recommended portions to each child. 

Other initiatives include a pre-order 'designer sandwiches' project which has been introduced in all secondary schools across the County, and  is proving to be a great success.
