We are very proud to share that we have been awarded the GOLD Award for the Healthy Schools Rating Scheme.

The Healthy Schools Rating Scheme has been designed by the Department for Education to recognise and encourage schools’ contributions to supporting pupils’ health and wellbeing. It celebrates the positive actions that schools are delivering in relation to healthy eating and physical activity, while helping schools to identify useful next steps in their provision.

We were assessed against the following key criteria:

• Food education, including provision within the curriculum and teacher training;

• Compliance with the School Food Standards;

• The amount of time children spend on physical education each week; and

• Participation in active travel schemes.

We are very proud to receive the Gold Star Award. This recognition reflects the work taking place across our school to promote healthy choices, physical activity and wellbeing. We will continue to ensure that these areas remain an important part of school life.

Thank you to parents for supporting your child’s healthy eating, physical activity and participation in active travel opportunities.
