Maintaining Achieving and Extending National Healthy School Status

Maintaining Status

Those schools that have held Healthy Schools Status for 3 years or more will need to complete the new online Annual Review Tool. Other schools who have had status for a shorter period may wish to complete the tool since it gathers together evidence that links directly to the new Ofsted framework. Schools can download guidance including an example of an annotated Annual review from the Norfolk Healthy Schools web pages, www.schools.norfolk.gov.uk, select 'H' from the A-Z menu at the top of the page, then click on 'Healthy Schools', this will take you to our home page, you then need to select the 'Maintaining Healthy School Status' page, on the left hand side of the page.

The Healthy Schools Team will also be running training sessions to help schools feel confident about the Annual Review on the following dates:

Date	Time	Venue	Course Ref.

Places at these sessions must be booked in advance and colleagues attending must bring their log on details including a password to the sessions.

To book a place, please email Tracy Howard at tracy.howard@norfolk.gov.uk.

Achieving Status

If you are one of the remaining 100 schools yet to achieve National Healthy School Status why not attend one of the Healthy Schools Audit Lab sessions being held on:

09^th June 2010 or	NPDC	16:30 - 18:00
17^th June 2010	West Norfolk	16:30 - 18:00

These are practical hands-on sessions which will enable you to complete the online audit with our support. We know that many schools are in effect meeting the criteria but simply need a little support and dedicated time to complete the auditing process. Many schools that have attended these sessions in the past have managed to complete the process either on the day or shortly afterwards with the minimum of effort. Places at these sessions can be booked through Tracy Howard at tracy.howard@norfolk.gov.uk.

Extending Healthy School Status

There will be an introductory twilight on May 6^th for all schools who would like to be part of the Healthy Schools Enhancement Model in September. Schools need to attend this twilight in order to understand the process and what needs to be done before September.

The national Healthy Schools Enhancement Model was launched in November 2009 and Phase 1 (50 schools in Norfolk) have begun working to support local health and well-being priorities for Norfolk's Children and Young People through this approach Twilights will be held at both Norwich and West Norfolk PDC from 4:30-6:00 on May 6^th. Please contact tracy.howard@norfolk.gov.uk to book a place.

If you would like to know more about the Enhancement Model please telephone Adele Godsmark on 01603 221812.
