We are pleased to have achieved self-validated Healthy Schools Status this term using the School Health Check tool, indicating that East Hoathly has self-evaluated whole school health. This demonstrates that our school is embedding and improving provision against the four core health themes of Healthy Schools. This status is valid for three years.
In practical terms, it has led to a range of initiatives and improvements across the school:
- Healthy snack push
- Chartwells workshops on a balanced diet with all children making and trying ‘rainbow wraps’
- Decoration of our dining hall to encourage healthy eating
- Develop of a healthy eating lead teacher and healthy eating policy
- Food waste project highlighting the fruit and vegetables that were being wasted across the school
Further plans are in place to complete:
- Developing our growing area to grow fruits and vegetables
