Summer Self-Care

Our School Wellbeing Ambassadors have put together some recommendations/suggestions for looking after our wellbeing during Summer.

Try before you buy

Children can now sample other meals on offer each day, by asking one of our abm catering staff. 

We aim to encourage children to broaden their dietary choices by inviting them to try foods they may not usually select. To support this, we offer small tasting portions—'taster pots'—so they can sample new dishes in a low-pressure, enjoyable way.

Maltby Academy are running another multi-sports camp during the Summer Holidays, Thursday 24th July & Thursday 28th August.

If you would like to book your child's place on the camp, please fill out the Microsoft form.
