Your child could get an apple, pear, banana, satsuma, carrot, cherry tomatoes or other fruit or vegetable depending on whats in season. 96% of eligible schools are already taking part in the scheme. This scheme is part of a National 5 A DAY programme

More information can be found on the Department of Health website ‘Information for parents School Fruit and Vegetable Scheme’
