What is a Healthy School? Barnham has achieved National Healthy School status, one of ten schools in West Sussex. To achieve Healthy School status, we have had to meet agreed criteria in four theme areas: personal, social and health education, including sex, relationship education and drug education healthy eating physical activity emotional health and wellbeing (including bullying). These criteria relate to the curriculum taught at Barnham, but they also concern the emotional, physical and learning environment that our school provides. We have achieved Healthy Status through adopting a whole-school approach. This means we are addressing the needs not just of our children, but our staff and the wider school community. It also means addressing not just the curriculum, but the total learning environment. Achieving Healthy school status is evidence of how Barnham is contributing to the five national outcomes for children which the Government desires for all children: be healthy stay safe enjoy and achieve make a positive contribution achieve economic wellbeing.
