The Barnsley Healthy
Schools Scheme was nationally accredited in April 2001.
It
is a partnership between Barnsley Local Education Authority

support schools in raising standards of achievement by improving
the physical and emotional health and well-being of the
whole school community.
Principles
of the Barnsley Healthy Schools Scheme
- The Healthy Schools Scheme looks at health in its
widest sense, encompassing physical, emotional health
and social well-being and addressing inequalities in
health.
- The Healthy School Scheme is school led. It acknowledges
the uniqueness of each school and is based around a
school's own priorities and needs.
- The Healthy School is non-competitive
- The Healthy School builds upon existing achievements
and is a developmental and on-going process.
- The Healthy School Scheme promotes the participation
of the whole school community and encourages an inclusive
approach to decision making.
