Schools play an important role in supporting the health and well-being of children and we are proud to have achieved Healthy School Status.

National Healthy School Status requires schools to meet criteria in four core themes.  They are:

• personal, social and health education

• healthy eating

• physical activity and
• emotional health and wellbeing
  
  

There are a number of specific actions that schools need to take if they are to be recognised as a Healthy School. These include:

• ensuring relevant policies are up-to-date

• ensuring healthier food and drink options are available and promoted (including access to free, clean and palatable drinking water)

• providing opportunities for all pupils to participate in physical activity and
  
  
• providing a positive environment which enhances emotional health and well-being in school
