This week, we had the privilege of visiting Kingsmoor Academy, winners of our Snack to School competition! 🎉 Every pupil got their hands on a delivery of Scrapples - and we couldn’t resist popping by to join in the fun.

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) have been popping up everywhere lately - in headlines, on social media, and in conversations about kids’ nutrition. But what are they exactly? And are they really as bad as they sound? Let’s break it down in simple terms.

We’ve teamed up with Netmums to launch the ultimate Snack to School competition – and the prize is huge. One lucky UK primary school will win a bag of our award-winning Scrapples crunchy apple crisps for every single child. That’s a whole school enjoying a healthy, tasty snack together!

Keeping an eye on snack labels can feel like a full‑time job. This guide highlights common ingredients you’ll see in children’s snacks and what they mean in plain English. Use it as a quick reference when you’re choosing lunchbox bits, after‑school nibbles, or weekend treats.

The sun’s peeking out (finally), the flowers are blooming, and the kids have a lot of energy to burn… so we’ve cooked up something fun to help you make the most of those springtime strolls.

Let’s be honest: the idea of a wholesome family walk sounds lovely in theory. In reality? It’s 47 minutes of finding wellies, negotiating snacks, and reminding everyone that “yes, we are going outside even though the sofa is comfy.” But it can be fun. Promise. Here’s how to make family walks a little less “Are we nearly there yet?” and a little more “Can we do this again tomorrow?” (Yes, miracles do happen.)
