Healthy schools

Welcome to the our healthy schools web pages!

Our healthy schools programme helps schools make a difference to the health and achievement of young people by supporting them to achieve National Healthy Schools Status.

So what is a healthy school?

Healthy schools have a well-planned and taught curriculum that promotes physical and emotional health, but have so much more! They also have a safe, welcoming and secure environment, with healthy opportunities that enable children and young people to do better in learning and life and to reach their full potential.

Healthy schools aren't just about pupils: they use a Whole School Approach to involve the school community - from parents to governors and school staff - in improving the health and happiness of the school by addressing criteria in four key themes.

All the information you need about our healthy schools programme can be found in our Handbook, or by contacting our Healthy Schools coordinator on 01275 546 739 or our PSHE adviser on 01934 634 778.
