Students of Grace Academy Solihull were provided with free fruit by the school.
The fruit was available in the various canteen areas and students were encouraged by staff to take a piece of fruit each. The academy realises the pressure and stress that students can feel at times, especially in relation to Covid, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle helps students deal with these challenges.
Also as fruit is not always a chosen food group by young people at lunch times, especially those in the 11 -16 and Post 16 age groups, the school thought this would be a good way of exposing them to this, and in an environment that would hopefully encourage them to give something new a try.
“It’s really good to have fruit at lunch, it reminds me to eat healthier. I don’t always choose healthier food, but because it was free I had it first” – Sophie Cooke (Yr 8).
