THE traditional break-time biscuit snack has been abandoned at a village school as pupils try out healthier options.
The 110 youngsters at Ainderby Steeple CE Primary School, near Northallerton, are tucking into a variety of fresh fruit. They have the choice of a whole banana or apple, slice of melon or four-piece fruit salad. Praising the scheme, headteacher Maureen Webster said: "We had a trial period and it has just snowballed from there." Pupils Aidan McCallum and Bethany Thompson, above, are pictured with some of the new choices on the menu.
