Healthy Schools Plus

As part of the Leicestershire Healthy Schools Programme, Public Health have created a range of programmes to offer targeted support to all schools to help them meet the health and wellbeing needs of the school community.

Leicestershire & Rutland Schools should participate in programmes that will provide the most benefit to their school community. Identifying health and wellbeing needs within the school can be challenging – schools requiring support with this should contact the Leicestershire Healthy Schools programme officers who can recommend programmes to meet the schools need.

Through participation and completion of a Public Health Programme, schools will qualify for the Healthy Schools Plus award – this award further demonstrates the school's commitment to go above and beyond to improve and protect the health and wellbeing of the school community.

When awarded with Healthy Schools Status, the school will receive:

• 2-years Healthy Schools Plus accreditation

• A digital and paper-based Healthy Schools Plus certificate
• An article of celebration
