Training Overview:

All children and young people have the right to be healthy and to achieve at school and in life. Healthy Schools provides opportunities for enhancing emotional and physical aspects of health that will lead to improved health, reduced health inequalities, increased social inclusion and raising achievement. Healthier children do better in learning and in life.

The Bronze Award is a review of current provision around PSHE Education, Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health, Physical Activity and Healthy Eating.  It is a whole school approach framework to identify strengths and areas for improvement.

This training session is a practical, interactive session that takes participants through the process for completing the HSL Bronze. Participants will be able to identify ways in which your school’s current provision in PSHEe, Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health, Physical Activity and Healthy Eating meets requirements needed to achieve the award. By the end of the session, participants will have made a start on completing the template, and identified next steps in readiness for applying for the award.
