School scoops Tasty Tuck Award

Grange Valley Primary School has been rewarded in recognition of the work it is doing to promote the positive health of children and young people.

The school’s out of hours club has successfully achieved the Tasty Tuck Award accreditation, issued by St Helens Council’s Healthy Living Team, for promoting healthier choices of breakfast and active play.

Captain Tuck, the service mascot, joined members of the Healthy Living Team in visiting Grange Valley to present a certificate to staff and children.

St Helens Council’s cabinet member for public health and wellbeing, Councillor Jeanie Bell, said: “This is a fantastic achievement which showcases the positive attitude at Grange Valley in creating a healthy eating environment in school.

“A great amount of hard work goes on behind the scenes in keeping the borough’s children healthy and active outside the family unit, so it’s important that we recognise and applaud those efforts.”
