Impact

At Galleywall Primary School, girls rated their knowledge, understanding and confidence across five key areas before and after completing the six-session programme. Average scores rose by 5.6 points, from 3.6 to 9.2 out of 10. This demonstrates a measurable increase in girls’ knowledge and confidence about their health.

“I used to think being healthy was about how I looked - and that I needed to be skinny. Nutrigirls has taught me so much about how I should take care of myself. Bonnie, Nat and Niamh are the best!”

Year 6 student, Galleywall Primary School

“The girls were engaged from the first session and felt able to ask questions they might not usually raise in class. The programme was thoughtful, age-appropriate and easy to accommodate within our timetable.”

Head Teacher, Galleywall Primary School

“My daughter had nothing but praise for the Nutrigirls programme. It has been an amazing opportunity for her. I only wish we had courses like this when I was a child, as it would have been so helpful for me.”

Year 6 parent, Galleywall Primary School

Why This Matters

Growing up in a digital world brings new pressures.

As girls approach puberty, they are navigating changes in their bodies and emotions while being exposed to a constant stream of online messages about food, health and appearance. It can be difficult to know what or who to believe.
