Celebrating our Free Fruit & Veg Programme with a visit from Tesco and JB Gill
On Monday 1 June we were delighted to welcome Tesco and JB Gill from JLS to Mulberry Baird Primary as part of a special visit celebrating the Free Fruit & Veg programme and recognising the incredible work staff do to support children’s wellbeing every day.
The visit showcased the positive impact the programme is having across our school community, helping to ensure pupils have access to healthy food throughout the school day and encouraging positive attitudes towards healthy eating from an early age.
During the morning, visitors saw a range of activities taking place across the school, including creative classroom learning linked to fruit and vegetables and students making fresh fruit kebabs. Staff and pupils also had the opportunity to speak about the importance of healthy lifestyles and the difference the programme is making for children at Mulberry Baird Primary.
We are incredibly proud to provide our pupils with the healthy fuel they need to thrive, learn and succeed each day, and it was wonderful to share the positive work taking place across our school community.
The visit forms part of Tesco’s wider work celebrating schools and staff who go above and beyond to support children’s wellbeing, with coverage expected to feature nationally across print and social media.
We would like to thank Tesco for visiting our school and supporting such an important initiative.
