Healthy Primary School of the Future Study

Published Jan 29, 2019

The interim evaluation of the Healthy Primary School of the Future study shows that the focus on nutrition and physical activity at school is bearing fruit. Eight primary schools in South Limburg are participating in the study. Four schools have adapted their school environment for the study, while the other four are control schools.

In our news item of 28 January, we discussed the interim evaluation of the study. Earlier, three articles about this study appeared in GLOS magazine, focusing on primary schools that, in addition to nutrition and physical activity, work much more in accordance with the children's biorhythm. This first general article explains the study.

Practical examples from the study and interim evaluation

The following articles discuss the Healthy Primary School of the Future in practice:

Read the article about BS Langeberg in Brunssum, which focused primarily on physical activity.

Also read the article about OBS Wereldwijs in Landgraaf, which focused on nutrition, physical activity and biorhythms.

An interim evaluation is now also available.

Our Food Week

From 3 to 10 October 2026, it is Our Food Week. A great opportunity to focus with your class at primary school on where our food comes from, how it is made and why healthy and sustainable choices are important. Food education allows pupils not only to learn, but especially to experience. That is why various organisations are joining forces to support schools with inspiring activities, teaching materials and practical tools. Examples include the Mayors’ Breakfast, a free visit to a farm, or shopping vouchers for cooking in the classroom.
