Health & Wellbeing at St Luke’s Primary School
Welcome to the Health & Wellbeing section of St Luke’s Primary School website. As a States Primary School dedicated to nurturing every child’s potential, we recognise that a child’s health and wellbeing are fundamental to their success both inside and outside the classroom. This page is designed to support parents with essential information and resources that promote physical, emotional, and social wellbeing in our vibrant school community.
Promoting Healthy Choices Together
At St Luke’s, our vision is to create a safe and happy learning environment that encourages independence and high expectations. We are committed to promoting healthy lifestyle choices so that every pupil develops physically, emotionally, and morally. We work closely with families to support children in making positive decisions about their health.
Healthy Lunch Boxes
We encourage parents to provide nutritious lunch boxes that fuel children’s learning and play. Healthy lunch boxes might include fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and protein-rich foods. For ideas and guidance, please visit our Healthy Lunch Box Tips page, where you will find helpful suggestions and sample menus to inspire balanced meals that children enjoy.
Hot School Dinners
Our school offers delicious hot dinners prepared by our trusted provider, Caring Cooks. The meals are carefully planned to meet nutritional standards and cater to diverse dietary needs and preferences, reflecting the rich and diverse community we serve. Menus are updated regularly to keep choices exciting and balanced. You can view the current menu and information about allergens on our Hot School Dinners page.
Wellbeing Support
We understand that wellbeing is key to children’s happiness and achievement. Our wellbeing programme supports pupils’ emotional and mental health through activities, mindfulness, and pastoral care. We foster open-mindedness and empathy, ensuring every child feels valued and supported. Parents can access advice and resources on our Wellbeing Support page or contact our wellbeing coordinator for personalised guidance.
Breakfast Club & After School Club
To support working families and provide a nurturing start and end to the school day, we offer a Breakfast Club and After School Club. These clubs provide a safe, welcoming space where children can enjoy healthy snacks, engage in fun activities, and socialise with friends. Both clubs are staffed by caring adults who promote our values of respect, kindness, and community. For registration details and opening times, visit our Breakfast & After School Clubs page.
Sports Bugs
Physical activity is vital for children’s development and wellbeing. Through our partnership with Sports Bugs, children have access to a wide range of sports and fitness sessions designed to inspire confidence, teamwork, and a love of movement. Sports Bugs activities complement our curriculum and encourage pupils to lead active lifestyles, supporting our commitment to high expectations and personal growth.
Caring Cooks
Caring Cooks is more than just a meal provider; they share our dedication to nurturing children’s health and happiness. Their team works closely with the school to ensure every meal supports our pupils’ physical development and celebrates cultural diversity. We are proud to collaborate with Caring Cooks to provide nutritious, enjoyable meals that reflect our school’s values.
