Healthy Schools is a project that tries to get everyone in our schools including pupils, teachers, assistants, secretaries and lunch-time supervisors to become healthier. It’s not just about eating healthier – although that’s important. The programme also aims to develop a healthy atmosphere and environment in schools. Smoking, sex education, alcohol and drug misuse, fear of bullying and physical or mental abuse, are all issues that are tackled using this programme.

Some schools are getting healthier by achieving the Government’s National Healthy School Award and many other schools have established health – promoting practices outside this programme.
