Healthy Schools

 

Next Healthy Schools Meeting

 

 

What is a Healthy School?
A Healthy School is one that promotes the health and wellbeing of both its pupils and its staff.  It does so using a well-planned, well-taught curriculum that is delivered in a physical and emotional environment that promotes learning and lifestyle choices.
Becoming a healthy school
To achieve  Healthy school status, a school needs to meet agreed criteria in four theme areas:
  • personal, social and health education, including sex and relationship education and drug education (including alcohol, tobacco and volatile substance abuse);   
ü
  • Healthy eating;  
ü
  • physical activity; and  
ü
  • emotional health and wellbeing (including bullying).

The whole-school approach
To achieve Healthy School status, your school will need to adopt a whole-school approach.  That means addressing the needs not just of pupils, but of staff and the wider school community.  And it means addressing not just the curriculum, but the total learning environment.
