Sally Robinson 
Healthy Eating in Primary Schools 

Developed with the support of the Kent Healthy Schools Programme to encourage primary schools to promote healthy eating, this resource takes a whole-school, holistic approach towards children′s eating and relates to the PSHE Curriculum and the Healthy Schools Programme. There is a good blend of easily accessible information on healthy eating supported by individual case studies.

The three sections cover:

‘ a summary of the range of children′s eating issues

‘ strategies for promoting healthy eating and preventing, recognising and dealing with eating problems

‘ examples of lesson plans related to the physical, emotional and social aspects of children′s eating.

Dr Sally Robinson is principal lecturer in the Department of Health and Social Welfare Studies at Canterbury Christ Church University.
