Free Fruit for All Students From Monday
Students will be offered a free piece of fruit every morning between 7.30am and 8.05am in the canteen, starting on Monday 16 May.
"It's part of our responsibility to encourage healthy eating and make sure students understand the importance of a healthy diet," said Principal Chris Everitt.
"This is a pilot scheme but if it's successful we'll be looking to run it on a permanent basis."
Fruit will be available in a first come first served basis.
