Promoting a healthy diet

The multi-award-winning Eat Them to Defeat Them campaign and associated schools’ programme has been a huge success, with the 2022 campaign reaching over 1 million children in 3,850 primary and special schools. 57% of participating parents say their children ate more vegetables, including over a third of those fussy eaters who rarely eat any vegetables at all.

SNAG – School Nutrition Action Group

As part of the Shropshire Gateway educational Trust focus on improving healthy lifestyles, the Trust has formed a SNAG. The SNAG is a group of staff and children who work together on activities which promote being healthy, whether that is through special food events in school, or encouraging children to cook at home or through physical activities. The aim is to encourage active learning about nutrition and health for children within the Shropshire Gateway Educational Trust. Our SNAG also work hard with our Trust Catering Team to represent the views of children in school. The aim is to continually improve the  school lunch experience. Our SNAG have recently attended a tasting session at Lacon Childe School and reviewed the menus to make sure they contain the meals that our children love the best!
