A Healthy School is ...

One that promotes physical and emotional health by providing accessible and relevant information and equipping pupils and staff with the skills and attitudes to make informed decisions about their health. A Healthy School is successful in helping pupils to do their best and build on their achievements; it is committed to ongoing improvement and development.

In a Healthy School the importance of investing in health to assist in the process of raising children and young people's achievement levels and improving standards is well understood and the need to provide a physical and social environment conducive to work and learning is recognised.

A Healthy School involves the whole school community, parents, governors, staff and pupils, in improving children's health and happiness and helping them to get the most out of life.
