Independent boarding schools should operate a healthy consumption programme, incorporate a well balanced diet with great choice, exciting menus, and supervised, sociable meal times. Life moves so fast these days that many children eat out of the home, in front of the television, or in front of a computer and the social nature of meal times has been lost. The psychology of boarding school students consumption together at set times echoes that of doing so at home with family. Dietary discipline are also learned, even if subconsciously, such as not to eat too fast, and to wait for others. It is beneficial in learning social behaviour, not to mention table manners, and gives children the opportunity to interact away from the classroom and unwind. Good diet has also been shown to increase concentration, promote healthy sleeping patterns, and help develop good behaviour. At St Petroc we offer this and so much more.
