Schools are being encouraged to aim for Sugar Smart status by Cornwall Council.

Teachers, staff and students all need to take steps to reduce the amount of sugar in their snacks, drinks and work towards a healthier lifestyle. The Sugar Smart campaign is a national initiative.

A five-step guide to being Sugar Smart has been created by Cornwall Council’s healthy schools team and tips include; changing the contents of vending machines, charging less for healthy snacks and promoting healthier lunches.
