At Kilbonane National School, we believe that healthy eating is the foundation of a child’s growth, concentration, and well-being. As part of our Social, Personal and Health Education (SPHE) policy, we encourage pupils to make nutritious food choices that support their development and energy levels.

​

Our Healthy Eating Policy promotes a balanced diet in line with the Food Pyramid, ensuring children receive the right nutrients for their growing bodies. We offer hot meals through Ashdale Catering, providing nutritious, child-friendly options that include vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, while catering to dietary needs and allergies. For packed lunches, we encourage wholemeal breads, fresh fruits, vegetables, and water or milk as drinks.

​

To maintain a healthy, inclusive, and sustainable environment, we are a nut-free school, and treats are limited to Fridays only. All waste, including packaging from Ashdale Catering, goes home with the children to minimise waste and promote responsibility.

​

At Kilbonane NS, we’re committed to fostering lifelong healthy habits—because when children eat well, they learn, play, and thrive!
