Healthy Schools
2024-2025
Welcome to the Healthy School Group's page! We are made up of pupils from Dosbarth St Cadoc. It is our role to encourage healthy eating across the school and consider how we can be healthier in every way! We make sure to consider the Rights of the Child in all our actions and ideas.

During this meeting we finalised our action plan and discussed ways in which we can begin to implement it. We will start by creating a poster to go into every classroom to encourage healthy eating and drinking during school, and we will also start to motivate others during the daily mile! Take a look at our action plan to see what we will be doing next.
2023-2024
A warm welcome from Bill, Max, Melvia and Isla. We are proud to be the Healthy School Ambassadors for St. Joseph’s RC Primary School. We represent everything ‘Healthy’ in our school and of course we always include the Rights of the Child in every decision we make.
Being a Healthy School covers such a huge range of things, from promoting wellbeing, to encouraging other children at our school to come in by walking, riding a bike or their scooter. We regularly have meetings with other School Senedd members about targets we must try and achieve. We also feed back to our classes in school, as well as to teachers and Governors.
We have recently put together a whole school letter to encourage healthy snacks and lunches in school. This has been really successful and we are now looking at other ways we can promote healthy eating in our school.
WE ARE DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE THAT WE HAVE ACHIEVED THE HEALTHY SCHOOLS ACCREDITATION! A HUGE WELL DONE TO ALL OF THE CHILDREN, TEACHERS, PARENTS AND GOVERNORS WHO HAVE HELPED US IN OUR JOURNEY TO ACCREDITATION. MRS RIORDAN IS EXTREMELY PROUD OF ALL THE EFFORT THAT HAS GONE INTO ACQUIRING THIS PRESTIGIOUS AWARD.
