Welcome to The Sheffield Healthy Schools Programme
The Sheffield Healthy School Programme is a partnership programme between health and education, providing support to schools in becoming a healthier, safer and more enjoyable place for both pupils and staff to learn and work. In Sheffield the Programme is delivered jointly between NHS Sheffield and Sheffield City Council. The team is made up of a range of professionals who support schools to both achieve and build on gaining National Healthy Schools Status.
A healthy school promotes the health and well-being of its pupils and staff through a well-planned, taught curriculum in a physical and emotional environment that promotes learning and healthy lifestyle choices.
Schools focus on four criteria areas in order to achieve National Healthy Schools Status:
- Personal, social and health education including sex and relationship and drug education (including alcohol, tobacco and volatile substance misuse)
- Healthy Eating
- Physical Activity
- Emotional Health and Well-being
What Is A Healthy School?
One that is successful in helping pupils do their best and build on their achievements
One that promotes emotional and physical health by equipping students with the relevant information and Skills to make their own decisions about health
One that understands how improved health can lead to raised achievement and attainment
One that recognises the need to provide a physical and social atmosphere which encourages and enables learning
