Foley Infants School case study

Foley Infants School

This school was not providing milk when DairyCo's School Milk Project provided information and advice as to next steps. This resulted in Foley Infants canvassing all the parents on their views on starting a scheme.

The response was excellent with 90% of parents wishing their children to have milk at school on a daily basis. Such a high response meant the local dairy was prepared to provide a free refrigerator for storing the milk.

Money is now collected half termly and two milk monitors from each class have been appointed and it is their responsibility to collect enough milk for their class before each morning breaktime.

Head Teacher Anne Bennett says: "The cartons are just the right size to quench thirst and boost energy levels. We're also using the School Milk Project's educational resources to further increase the children's knowledge of milk and we view our scheme as an essential part of our commitment to healthy living."
