National Healthy Schools Status | |
|
|
||||
|
For Information Please find in enclosures section of this week's School Circular a letter about the change to the way the National Healthy Schools Programme records the number of schools achieving National Healthy Schools Status. Many schools achieved the standard for healthy schools prior to September 2005 and are known as Level 3 schools. From 20 July 2007, a school can only call itself a 'Healthy School' once it has achieved the National Healthy Schools Status (i.e. they have fully met the 41 criteria across all four core themes - Healthy Eating, Physical Activity, PSHE and Emotional Health and Well Being). Therefore, if you are a Level 3 school, and have not yet achieved the new National Healthy Schools Status, your school will not be included in the total number of schools achieving National Healthy Schools Status. Also, unless you are working towards the new status, you may not be on the national database as participating in the National Healthy Schools Programme. You can register your school with the National Healthy Schools Programme at www.healthyschools.gov.uk The Barnet Healthy Schools Scheme team can support you in your progress towards the new Healthy Schools Status. If you have any questions, please contact Dave Rodgers on 020 8359 6370 or dave.rodgers@barnet.gov.uk Dave Rodgers |
