East Sussex healthy schools programme
The East Sussex healthy schools programme builds on previous evidence-based approaches developed locally and is supported by East Sussex Public Health and the East Sussex School Health Service.
The healthy schools programme brings together the following three components that support schools in taking a systematic approach to health and wellbeing:
- the school health check (helping you to achieve Healthy Schools Status)
- a new pupil survey for Year 6, Year 9 and post 16 students, my health, my school, and
- a new updated PSHE offer from the School Health Service.
The Healthy Schools programme supports schools to recognise and celebrate achievements in whole-school health improvement and provides a simple way to collate a range of evidence that will be useful for Ofsted inspection judgement areas.
