In October 2007 Wirral Grammar School for Boys achieved National Healthy School Status following our commitment and dedication to the National Healthy Schools Programme, an exciting long-term initiative which is making a significant difference to the health and achievement of children and young people in the UK.
The Government has set a target that all schools will be participating in the National Healthy Schools Programme by 2009, so we are particularly pleased to have achieved Healthy School Status this year.
Boys in our school tell us that they feel healthier, happier and safer because our school is a Healthy School. Their parents tell us that they feel more involved in their child's health and learning and often, as a result, feel better themselves. The impact of the programme has not only helped to improve health and well-being, but has brought sustained improvement in behaviour, standards of work and school management.
The impact of our programme, orchestrated by Mrs Oonagh Kahn our Head of PSHE(pictured left), is based on a whole-school approach to physical and emotional well-being focused on four core themes:
* Personal, Social & Health Education
* Healthy Eating
* Physical Activity
* Emotional Health & Well-Being
The whole school approach involves working with our students, parents, school staff and the whole community to provide a solid foundation from which developments and improvement are embedded in a systematic way. These processes contribute to the physical and emotional development of all members of our school community.
