Crwys Primary School is very involved in the Swansea Health Promoting Schools Scheme.

UNCRC – Article 24 – Your right to good food and water

All food and drink prepared for the children during school time and After School Club is expected to follow Swansea County Council healthy eating guidelines.

During break times we have a ‘fruit only’ policy, as decided upon by the School Council. We work hard to promote the health and wellbeing of the children and staff at school.

We ask parents of children who bring a packed lunch to school to make every effort to ensure that the packed lunch contains a healthy eating and drinking selection. This is consistent with our Health Promoting Policy. Healthy options are always made available during PTA functions. Staff are also encouraged to follow Healthy Schools guidelines.

If you wish to know more then please see our Healthy Schools co-ordinator, Mrs Rachel Harris . Drinking water – Drinking plenty of cold, fresh water helps to develop concentration skills and the well-being of the individual. We ensure that our children have access to cold, fresh drinking water throughout the school day.

Sport and Games

Crwys participates with other schools in the area in swimming galas, athletic meetings and other sporting competitions, festivals and tournaments e.g. football, netball, cricket, rugby, athletics, tennis and orienteering

 

We enjoy a great deal of success and have developed an excellent reputation for sport. Our children are often noted for their behaviour and sportsmanship. With all these activities, the aim is for the pupils to participate competitively with particular emphasis on enjoyment, sportsmanship and being part of a team.

Residential Visits

The Year 5 pupils undertake a five-day residential visit to Pendine Outdoors in Carmarthenshire, where they enjoy a range of activities, while Year 6 pupils have the opportunity to visit Borfa House Adventure Centre in Port Eynon for 5 days, where they enjoy a range of outdoor pursuits.
