In November 2020 I was told I had 6 months left to live and was at risk of sudden death, due to a colloid cyst in my brain.
Healthy schools rating scheme launched
The healthy schools rating scheme has been published, two years after it was supposed to be up and running.
Originally proposed as part of the government’s child obesity action plan in 2016, it is a voluntary scheme for schools that recognises and encourages their contribution to supporting pupils’ health and wellbeing.
Schools will be able to determine how well they are promoting healthy eating and physical activity by completing a self-assessment and receiving a rating based on their answers.
They will receive an award for their performance, and information on how they might improve their healthy living policies.
Schools can use the award to show parents how they have performed.
The guidance says that "Where relevant, Ofsted inspectors may wish to consider the scheme as evidence when reaching the judgement on ‘personal development’."
