Tonbridge wins Healthy Eating Award
Date: 17/11/2006
A prestigious Healthy Eating Award has been made to Tonbridge School by Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council in recognition of the fact that we offer and promote healthy eating, through providing healthy menus and food. Over the course of qualification we have met with nutritionalists to help us adapt our food so that the boys are offered a balanced and healthy diet in line with their active lifestyle.
We have had to provide a nutritional breakdown of the products we use e.g. sausages, to determine the levels of various ingredients such as salt and fat. We have added more vegetables, fruit and pulses in to our menu cycle as well as wholegrain bread, rice and pasta.
Frying is kept to an absolute minimum and we are encouraging boys to eat fresh fish, high in Omega 3. We're hoping the Omega 3 publicity is true and that we'll see an additional boost to our exam results!
