North Yorkshire & York Healthy Schools Award

North Yorkshire Healthy Early Years Award

This is an excellent award to enable Schools and Early years providers to develop and embed a whole setting approach to support health and wellbeing of pupils and staff.

The award enables Schools and Early years providers to achieve Bronze, Silver and Gold for recognition in the following areas: Active Lives, Emotional Health and Wellbeing, Healthy Food, PSHE / PSED and Staff Wellbeing. There is an action plan and supporting evidence required for each theme which can be accessed once registered with the programme.

The award is funded by Public Health to enable all North Yorkshire early years settings and schools, including academies, to take part for free. York Public Health fund the schools award for all York schools to take part without charge. We welcome private and out of county schools to join for an annual fee.

Watch this short video from the Headteacher of Linton-on-Ouse Primary school in North Yorkshire who has achieved the Gold award to learn more about why they took part in the award and the impact it has had on their school.
