The National Healthy Schools Programme (NHSP) is issued at a time when the health of young people has never attracted so much attention – unfortunately most of this focusing on negative aspects like obesity and instances of poor sexual health.

The aims of the National Healthy Schools Programme are:

  • to support children and young people in developing healthy behaviours
  • to help to raise pupil achievement
  • to help to reduce health inequalities
  • to help promote social inclusion

Ofsted will expect schools to demonstrate how they are contributing to the five national outcomes for children stipulated by Every Child Matters and the Children Act 2004:

  • being healthy
  • staying safe
  • enjoying and achieving
  • making a positive contribution
  • economic wellbeing

Comments from the 2007 Ofsted Inspection Report

"The school's provision for developing healthy lifestyles is excellent."

"Pupils have a good understanding of the elements of a safe and healthy lifestlye. The school's efforts to promote healthy lifestyles are excellent. Healthy eating is actively encouraged, participation in sporting activities is high, and the developing travel to school plan is encouraging pupils to cycle and to walk."
