There is a wealth of information and ideas for schools who have already achieved full status and who wish to build on their Healthy Schools work and continue improving the emotional and physical health and well-being of their school community. This website is linked to the National Healthy Schools website.
The Worcestershire Healthy Schools Team wants Worcestershire schools and their partners to be fully involved in sharing good practice. We therefore warmly invite you to send in your video podcasts, photos and descriptions of any good practice ideas you would like to share.
We are also always available to answer your questions as well as offer advice and support to schools and their partners in developing policies, programmes and activities around health and well-being. So if you can’t find what you are looking for in these pages, do contact us.
So what is a Healthy School?
A Healthy School is one which is using a whole school approach to improve outcomes in health and well-being for the whole school community. By following the National Healthy Schools Programme a school will be reducing health inequalities, raising achievement and promoting social inclusion. Achieving National Healthy School Status involves providing minimum evidence that the school has met national criteria within the four core themes of PSHE, healthy eating, physical activity and emotional health and well-being.
Congratulations to those schools who have achieved Healthy Schools Status
