Fun-Trition - For Schools
Fun-Trition is a cross-curriculum based programme for KS1 and KS2 children that will not only teach food education, but help increase your school meal uptake, and engage parents in the health and wellbeing of their children.
With the introduction of Universal Free School Meals, School Food Plan, cookery/nutrition additions to the D&T curriculum and Ofsted inspectors now monitoring and evaluating the ‘whole school approach’ to healthy eating, the demand for schools to deliver on health and well-being is moving up the agenda.

Fun-Trition for Pupils
The Fun-Trition programme delivers a series of fun and inspiring lessons for all year groups (years 1-6) based around the fundamental principles of staying healthy; eating well, drinking well, moving well and sleeping well. Children will gain food and nutrition knowledge, cooking skills and physical activity knowledge. Children will also be involved in food science experiments and emotional health lessons that will help motivate and empower both themselves and their families too.

What is Fun-Trition?
The Fun-Trition programme supports schools with meeting these new requirements, by providing a progressive, delivered, 12 week, cross-curriculum (Science, D&T, SMSC, PHSE, Maths, English, and Geography) based healthy lifestyle programme for each year from KS1 through to KS2. |
What do we provide?
Lessons are delivered by qualified tutors, not only to provide food and wellbeing education, but to provide practical cooking skills, homework tasks to engage with parents, and also help support schools to increase school meal uptake. A fully interactive online evaluation tool enables teachers to monitor progress of their classes and measure the impact of Fun-trition for the whole school.
What’s the benefit?
For children: A better understanding of food, and the confidence to make healthy choices – as well as influence and inspire those around them.
For parents: Healthier, happier children – and fewer food battles at home!
For your school: Provides evidence to support the new Ofsted requirements for creating an ethos and culture of healthy eating within your school. Research shows that significant improvements in health and well-being can lead to improved concentration, behaviour and academic attainment in schools.
