Schools achieve National Healthy School Status by evidencing that they have in place 41 criteria, across the programme's four themes: PSHE education, emotional health and well-being, healthy eating and physical activity.
The Healthy Schools enhancement model is about enabling schools to move beyond this firm foundation for improved health and well-being, and will support schools in developing further targeted activities to bring about healthier behaviours amongst children and young people, with a particular emphasis on addressing local needs and priorities.
