The Health Promoting Schools Framework - background information

How schools are supporting healthy eating The Health Promoting Schools Framework is an effective model for schools to promote the health of students. The framework highlights the importance of the relationships between:

Curriculum, teaching and learning
School organisation, ethos (culture) and environment
Community links and partnerships.

To ensure the most effective impact on the promotion of children’s health, activities that provide and promote healthy food should be linked across all areas of the framework.

A Health Promoting School consciously sets about positively promoting and supporting healthy practices. It regards the health of its students and those in the school community as a high priority. This is reflected through the curriculum, school environment and links with the local community.
