Welcome to Swindon Healthy Schools
Swindon Healthy Schools is committed to supporting all local schools to provide a whole school approach to improve and maximise pupils' health and wellbeing so they can reach their full potential. This includes guidance around improving the school environment, policies and activities to promote and facilitate good health choices. This website recommends resources, support and training to enhance the Personal Social Health Education (PSHE) curriculum and offers information on networking opportunities to enable schools to share good practice.
In Swindon we aim to provide a personalised approach to each school's health and wellbeing needs.
