Healthy Schools Honoured

4 December 2007

Schools in Derbyshire have collected awards for helping pupils lead healthy lives.

Thirty seven schools from across the county received a Healthy School Award at a ceremony at County Hall, Matlock.

The awards ceremony is for schools to celebrate their achievement in gaining the National Healthy Schools Status and was organised by the Health Promoting Schools team, a partnership between Derbyshire County Council and Derbyshire County Primary Care Trust.

The event, which took place on Tuesday, November 27, also included individual children being awarded for their art contributions to the Healthy Schools Art Competition.

The theme for the competition was ‘What Makes My School Healthy?’

Some of the artwork will be used to decorate mouse mats, coasters and promote the Derbyshire Healthy Schools website.

Derbyshire Health Promoting Schools team aims to improve long term health, reduce health inequalities, increase social inclusion and raise achievement for all.

Councillor Anne Western, Derbyshire County Council’s cabinet member for children’s services, said: “We are working hard to improve the health of local people and make sure our children are given the best chance to live happily and healthily.

”These schools are great examples of how to help young people lead more healthy lifestyles and thoroughly deserve this recognition.”
