  • We have been awarded a Healthy Schools London Bronze Award for our commitment to healthy lifestyles through sport, personal, social and health education, healthy school meals and our commitment to wellbeing for pupils and staff.

  • Healthy Schools London is a programme that supports London’s schools to provide an environment and culture that helps their pupils grow up to be healthy happy and learn.

    With an award scheme sponsored by the Mayor of London, the programme will recognise and celebrate schools that are making a difference for their pupils.

    The Healthy Schools London programme will support schools as they work towards these awards, with a network of local coordinators, and a range of resources, tools and advice provided through this website and regular workshops for schools.

    What are the benefits to schools of taking part in Healthy Schools London?

    Taking part in Healthy Schools London, and working successfully for the tiered awards will enable the school to directly support the health and well-being of its pupils and staff.

    An evaluation of the national programme on which HSL is based showed the following tangible outcomes:

    • Increased amount of opportunities that children and young people have to be physically active in and out of schools

    • Increased participation of children and young people in physical activity in and out of school

    • Improved links between schools and communities that promote physical activity

    • Increased school meal uptake including free school meals

    • Improved children and young people’s access to healthy packed lunches and snacks throughout the school day

    The benefits go beyond health. Participating schools have also reported reduced incidence of bullying, improved behaviour & attendance. Headteachers have also said that they found the healthy schools programme helpful as a general school improvement tool.

“We are committed to providing healthy food for children. At the same time, we aim to show young people how great mealtimes can be, and introduce them to healthy eating and balanced nutrition. We see it as our responsibility to inform food choices and support their personal development, from early years to completing college, and beyond.”
