Healthy Living
At Christ the Word Catholic School we promote good health, positive behaviour and we strive for excellence across all aspects of school life. We encourage learners to take part in sport and social activities outside lessons and provide a balanced programme of extra curricular activities.
Learners and staff have fresh drinking water available during the day.
We want our learners to eat well so that they can concentrate in lessons, as well as learning about healthy foods
The food at the Christ the Word Catholic School is provided by Denbighshire Catering Services and is of the very highest quality. We provide an optional fruit shop for the Lower School, at break time together with a variety of healthy snacks and healthy hot food in the Dining Room. There is a full range of choices at lunchtime.
The staff of the Dining Room will appreciate feedback from learners through the School Council.
Payment will be made using a cashless payment system.

Once you have applied and been granted free school meals for your children you do not need to re-apply annually, this will be amended with any changes to your income.
Free school meals forms are also available from school.
Learners who bring their own snacks and lunches into school will eat in the Dining Room with the other students. In the interest of safety, no-one is to bring glass containers to school. We operate a ‘no nuts’ policy and ask that learners do not bring foods that include nuts into school or share foods with others.
Christ the Word Catholic School will build on the ethos, success and achievements at the core of education provision across the Diocese. It will be a strong and nurturing learning community.

This fantastic new school will help us achieve our goal of providing modern facilities across Denbighshire that further enhance pupils’ learning.

I am delighted that the partnership of Welsh Government, Denbighshire County Council and the Catholic Church will deliver a brand new school to serve the families of Rhyl and the surrounding parishes.
