At Alston Primary School, we believe in fostering a healthy lifestyle that encompasses both physical vitality and mental well-being. Our ethos revolves around cultivating habits that support a balanced, wholesome life for our pupils, laying the foundation for their future success and happiness.
Nourishing the body with wholesome meals is a cornerstone of our approach. Our school provides healthy, balanced lunches crafted to fuel growing bodies and minds. For all children, we emphasise the importance of nutritious snacks, ensuring they have access to foods that support their development and energy levels throughout the day. We integrate essential knowledge across the curriculum, in subjects such as: science, Religious Education (RE), and Personal, Social, Health, and Economic Education (PSHE). Pupils learn about the human body, healthy habits, mental health awareness, and emotional resilience, equipping them with crucial information to make informed choices. By nurturing both physical and mental health, we strive to create an environment where our pupils thrive. We understand the significance of a healthy mind and body in achieving academic success and overall happiness. Our commitment to this ethos extends beyond the classroom, aiming to empower pupils with the tools and understanding to lead fulfilling, healthy lives beyond their school years.
Physical activity is also fundamental to our curriculum. Through engaging Physical Education (PE) lessons, our students not only learn various sports and exercises but also develop essential teamwork and leadership skills. We encourage active participation in sports, dance, and outdoor activities to instil a love of movement and exercise. At our school, we're not just shaping pupils; we're nurturing well-rounded individuals equipped with the knowledge, habits, and resilience to embrace a healthy lifestyle and navigate life's challenges confidently.
