Why be a Healthy School?

Running 

Because being a Healthy School works

  • Children and young people in Healthy Schools tell us that they feel healthier, happier and safer.
  • Their parents tell us that they feel more involved in their children's health and learning and often feel better themselves.
  • Schools tell us that being a Healthy School has brought sustained improvement in behaviour, standards of work and school management.

There are some case studies on the national Healthy Schools website and in a series of Teachers' TV programmes about Healthy Schools.
