PUPILS at a Droitwich Spa school are being taught the importance of healthy eating from a very early age.

Students at Dodderhill School, which is one of the few schools in the area offering GCSE catering, enjoy lunches that are freshly made and cooked. Headteacher Joan Mumby said: "We want to help pupils to make positive choices about what they eat. I know that some of our teenage pupils would love to avoid the freshly cooked meals we offer, but it is part of our duty of care to them, to make sure that they have the best fuel for their mind and body."
