CHIPS with everything is a thing of the past at schools, as Bromsgrove pupils learned at a picnic designed to promote healthy eating.

Stoke Prior First School in Ryefields Road gave children the chance to enjoy healthy foods in the outdoors as part of the Healthy Schools programme.

It's a joint initiative between the Local Education Authority and Worcestershire Health Authority which aims to promote the health and well-being of young people in a variety of ways including diet and exercise.
