We have been part of the Healthy Schools Initiative for 4 years. The initiative promotes physical and emotional health and well being. Its aim is to make children aware of the importance of a healthy lifestyle through healthy eating, exercise and also looking after our mental health.

Over the past 4 years we have worked on various action areas, these include:-

* setting up a fruit tuck shop             * setting up a school council

*setting up a peer support group which helps children at playtimes

*setting up a reward scheme for classes and individuals

We have worked to improve the school grounds and environment. We have set up a 30,40,50 club which encourages walking or jogging for fitness. We have also worked on staff health and well being by encouraging a healthy work/life balance. Over the last two years we have been working on Phase 4 & 5. This phase involves looking at other countries and cultures and how children and adults keep fit and healthy in these countries. Each year group has studyied a different country and these are represented in our class pages.

This has been a very sucessful venture and we have achieved awards for our work.
