Healthy School

Woodlane High School was the first school in London to achieve the Healthy School's Gold Award!

The Healthy School’s London initiative is designed to respond to growing concerns over healthy weight in London and a need for more physical exercise and sport participation across all London boroughs. It is backed by the Mayor’s office.

Our aim is to help pupils make healthy decisions regarding mental and sexual health as well as informed decisions in selecting healthy food & drink options and improve their fitness through exercise and sport. 

 

 

We support this in the taught curriculum:

  • In Food Technology lessons and extra curricular cooking clubs

  • In PSCHE lessons, including sex education

  • In Science lessons and extra-curricular gardening sessions

  • In PE and extra-curricular sports clubs
