Awards for healthy schools
Nineteen schools across Knowsley are celebrating after being
awarded ‘Healthy School’ status.
They met the standard of the National Healthy Schools Programme
which supports the links between health, behaviour and
achievement.
Being a healthy school means that the whole school community
including pupils, staff, governors and parents are involved in
supporting children by focusing on:
- Personal, social and health education
- Healthy eating
- Physical activity
- Emotional health and well-being
