Healthy Schools Plus post pilot

For schools choosing to take part from April 2011

Following the success of the pilot and our learning from it we are going forward with Healthy Schools Plus in Swindon.  We have adapted it, taking the best bits in order to meet the needs of schools locally.

Together with an Annual Audit of your basic Healthy School Status which helps you to sustain the foundation of health and wellbeing by demonstrating that you continue to meet the minimum criteria through a whole-school approach, Healthy Schools Plus is the way you will maintain your Healthy School Status in the future.

Alongside the Annual Audit, Healthy Schools Plus will help you to prioritise your own health and wellbeing agenda and decide what really matters to your school and its community.

Healthy Schools Plus should be seen as falling into three stages:

- planning change: PLAN

- delivering change: DO

- understanding what has changed: REVIEW

There are some tools in the national Healthy Schools toolkit that may be of help in planning and undertaking your Healthy Schools Plus work.
