Food, Fun and Learning at Newbridge School – Summer 2026

At Newbridge School, we are proud to be one of only a small number of secondary schools across Wales to run the Food and Fun Summer Programme.

The programme provided our learners with a fantastic combination of hands-on activities, energetic games and opportunities to learn more about healthy living.

One of the highlights of the week was building rocket cars. Learners worked together to design, create and then race their own cars, putting their creativity, teamwork and problem-solving skills to the test.

There was plenty of opportunity to stay active too, with pupils taking part in a range of activities including dodgeball, table tennis and yoga. The varied programme allowed everyone to get involved and enjoy physical activity in ways that suited their different interests and confidence levels.

Alongside all the fun and activities, learners also explored the importance of healthy eating, discovering how making positive food choices can support energy levels, concentration and overall wellbeing.

Each day was rounded off with a warm, freshly prepared meal, provided by our fantastic canteen team.

It was a brilliant week filled with fun, learning, teamwork and healthy choices, helping our learners develop positive habits that can support their health and wellbeing well into the future.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the Food and Fun Programme such a success!
