About the Scheme
The National Healthy Schools Scheme (NHSS) is a joint project between Education and Health services across the country.
In Surrey, the NHSS provides a framework for schools to co-ordinate, develop and improve all areas of PSHE, including Citizenship, in line with the National Healthy Schools Standard and National Curriculum Guidance.
A team of education and health promotion advisers, consultants and specialists provide support to schools on becoming healthier places for staff and pupils to work and learn.
The NHSS in Surrey is an opportunity for schools to actively promote the health of the whole-school community. It is a commitment to promoting personal, social and health development.
The scheme is not aimed merely at pupils’ health or school curriculum development but centres around the whole school environment and all aspects of school life.
"Healthier Living and Learning".
