Healthy Schools
Applebee Wood School is promoting Healthy eating. This means that we aim to improve health, raise pupil achievement, improve social inclusion and encourage closer working between health and education providers in the United Kingdom.
Applebee Wood School is currently working towards becoming a healthy eating school. The criteria for the award is applied across the whole school. From partnerships with parents and carers, to providing all staff with appropriate training. From providing a positive culture and environment in school to planning learning activities.
As part of Healthy schools, we evaluate our Personal, Social, Heath & Economic education, ensuring that lessons are taught regularly and are supplemented by curricular activities.
Healthy Schools is prominent in other areas of the curriculum; PE lessons is taught regularly as well as extra-curricular sessions that are accessible to all of our pupils. Cookery is offered as an extra-curricular session and equips pupils with essential skills while re-enforcing the message about healthy eating.
