At Oxclose Community School we believe that healthy eating should be promoted as an enjoyable activity, as well as one that contributes to good health. We believe that it is the school's role to develop student's abilities to make informed food choices, in a way which acknowledges and respects the eating habits of individuals and families.

To ensure that all aspects of food and nutrition in school promote the health and well being of students, staff and visitors to our school.

To equip students with the knowledge to make informed choices, about food, as outlined in the National Healthy School Programme, throughout their lives, and to give them the opportunity to apply that knowledge on the school premises and beyond.

Improve the health of the whole school community by supporting students and families to establish and maintain life-long healthy and environmentally sustainable eating habits.

Help our students acquire the skills and knowledge to make healthy choices and set a good example by offering healthy food and drink, across the whole school day, as outlined in the National Healthy School
Programme.

Integrate our aims into all aspects of school life, including food provision within the school, the curriculum and pastoral and social activities
