Prep Healthy Eating - Streatham and Clapham High School GDST

At Streatham & Clapham Prep School (SCPS), healthy eating is a fundamental part of the experience. We believe that good nutrition is crucial for young children’s growth, development, and ability to learn. Our balanced and nutritious meals are prepared on-site, ensuring that every girl enjoys fresh, wholesome food. We cater to individual dietary needs and encourage healthy eating habits through fun, educational activities. By fostering a positive relationship with food from a young age, we help our girls develop lifelong healthy eating habits.

Our girls enjoy a nutritious and balanced diet. Every dish is homemade on the premises. Streatham & Clapham Prep School girls are encouraged to develop healthy, relaxed and mindful eating habits. In our dedicated and welcoming Dining Hall, our girls learn about nutrition and the importance of taking the time to eat a healthy lunch. In addition to the daily menu, we offer girls delicious vegetarian options along with soup and a range of salads and desserts.

SCPS provides two healthy fruit snacks per day for a morning and an afternoon snack. School lunch times provide a social time for girls to chat, socialise with friends from other age groups and spend informal time with their teachers. Lunchtime is a very happy time for the girls in Early Years; the range of food provided is delicious, healthy and varied.

Each term, our Student Council meet with the Head Chef to review and discuss lunch and tuck options. The girls engage in taste-testing potential menu additions, allowing them to refine their palates and provide valuable feedback. With an open kitchen design, pupils observe proper cooking techniques and actively engage in menu selection and food preparation. This involvement fosters a strong foundation for a healthy relationship with food and nutrition, making them feel connected to what they eat.
