The Healthy Schools Programme is a key part of the Government´s drive to improve standards of health and education and to tackle health inequalities. Its aim is to make children, teachers, parents and communities more aware of the opportunities that exist in schools for improving health.
The National Healthy School Standard (NHSS) is part of the Healthy Schools Programme. It offers support for local programme co-ordinators and provides an accreditation process for education and health partnerships. Local healthy schools programmes, based in education and health partnerships, provide support to schools on becoming healthier places for staff and pupils to work and learn. This support might include guidance on leadership and managing change; staff professional development; school culture; policy; pupil, parent/carer and local community involvement; curriculum planning; teaching and learning and working with external agencies in a range of contexts such as Personal, Social and Health Education and citizenship. The healthy school programme for Barking and Dagenham and Havering was accredited in February 2002.
