Nower Hill has 'Healthy Schools' status.
This required us to examine all areas of school life, particularly in terms of physical activity, healthy eating, citizenship and emotional health.
What's Cooking at Nower Hill?
Harrison Catering Services Limited manage our catering services at school and will operate as the cold food outlet at both break and lunchtimes from the old M7 classroom which is a cold food only area. This includes sandwiches, baguettes, wraps, fruit salads, fruit pots, fresh fruit, yoghurt pots and complete salad pots, plus all cold drinks.
They provide the home cooked main/vegetarian meal of the day and other snacks at lunchtimes in the main dining centre, as well as a new breakfast service from 8am every morning.

Eco-Prefects - We have an Eco-Prefect system which manages the school wide paper recycling scheme. This has run for four years. The LBH provided two large paper bins which we frequently fill reducing the paper going to land fill or the incinerator. The use of fuel and energy is discussed across several curriculum areas. Science, Geography, History, Citizenship all raise issues of environmental sustainability. The students are very familiar with the problems of burning fossil fuels, global warming and carbon emission tax.
Healthy Eating
At a recent Parents and Friends meeting it was suggested that ideas for encouraging healthy eating for teenagers could be posted on our school website, which is exactly what we have done. Below are some suggested websites for looking at Healthy Eating.
HEALTHY SCHOOLS
Why not walk to school?
Do you often drive your children to school in the morning or pick them up in the car in the afternoon?
Don't take the car
This can have many benefits both for our health and in terms of helping the environment by reducing
our carbon footprint.
Do you get stuck in traffic on the way? When you arrive, do you then have problems finding somewhere safe to park?
