Healthy School: a new plan for 2021
Healthy School Plan to inspire healthy eating and healthy thinking: Educate, activate, communicate
Intent: At Milton Abbot School we are highly committed to the health and welfare of every pupil in our care, seeking to secure a healthy mindset that lasts a lifetime. We are ambitious that being healthy is not simply a list of ‘dos’ and ‘don’ts’ but is a culture that educates and activates every child, so they can make positive choices of their own as they grow and develop. To meet this commitment we will be providing regular opportunities to learn and discuss but also to get active and enjoy the benefits of being active - we want to activate a lifelong love of exercise and the many pleasures to be found in challenging ourselves both mentally and physically. This will involve a commitment from families in their support for our teaching strategies and the practical measures we uphold linked to healthy eating, which requires School to communicate effectively.
This plan outlines the strategies we implement to fulfill this duty and how we intend to communicate and deliver our ambition to educate and activate healthy pupils.
We view this commitment and ambition as a moral duty and an urgent need for every child. Such urgency is further inspired by the Government’s call to action with their ‘Childhood obesity: a plan for action’ (updated January 2017). Such a plan was made even more urgent following the National lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic of 2020.
