A Word From The Directors

Louise Wallace

Director of Public Health, North Yorkshire County Council

“We know that the past year has been quite unprecedented for all school leaders, school staff, parents and pupils. It is really positive to see that during this challenging year, so many of our schools have prioritised the health and wellbeing of their staff and pupils, and have been involved in the North Yorkshire Healthy Schools Award. We are really impressed by each and every school that has achieved, or is working towards an award and would like to thank you for your hard work to make your school a healthier environment for staff and pupils.”

Stuart Carlton

Corporate Director Children & Young Peoples Services, North Yorkshire County Council

“I would like to congratulate all the schools in North Yorkshire who have achieved a Healthy Schools award as it reflects how many schools prioritise the health and wellbeing of the whole school community”

Gold Award

Airy Hill Primary

Brompton Community Primary School

“We are delighted with our Healthy Schools Silver award and what it represents. The wellbeing of our pupils, staff and the wider Community is at the heart of everything that we do. Achieving this award is fantastic affirmation of our commitment to developing the whole child in a safe, secure and caring environment where they can flourish and achieve their potential, whatever, that might be.

Participating in the programme continues to sharply focus the whole school community in developing ‘healthy relationships’ in its broadest sense and all stakeholders feel more involved and invested in making our community the best it can be. Brompton Community Primary School is richer for its participation and it is lovely that this has been celebrated. We are now looking forward to our journey towards achieving the Healthy Schools Gold Award!”
