Gaining and maintaining Healthy School Status in Swindon

To gain and maintain Healthy School Status, your school is asked to audit practice and provision using our Annual Audit.

We are developing our Annual Audit in response to the coalition government’s desire to minimise bureaucracy for schools and to help you capture the essence of what it means to be a Healthy School. It is primarily intended as a tool for you to use to celebrate what’s working well and to identify areas where you might want to take some action.

Use of the Annual Audit in conjunction with your School Development Plan will enable you to form the basis of an action plan to take forward work to complete the checklist to gain or maintain recognition as a Healthy School. .

Alongside the annual audit schools are encouraged to take part in Healthy Schools Plus and undertake a specific, focussed piece of work addressing an area of need for your school.

Help from Swindon Healthy Schools 

We can support you through the entire process, for example by giving you help to go through the audit and by helping you to identify effective ways to implement your action plan and by supporting your HS Plus projects with data, tools, ideas for effective interventions and help with evaluation.
