Flourish Primary
Flourish Primary, our school lunches programme began in 2019, which enabled primary school children in two pilot schools to eat a hot lunch in a state primary school for the first time ever in Jersey. This has now been extended to six schools, Samares, Janvrin, St Peters, St Lukes, St Martins and Grands Vaux.
We are confident that given the early success of this pilot we can develop this and deliver Flourish to more primary school children across Jersey.
