The Sir John Colfox School is delighted to have been formally recognised as a ‘Healthy School’.  The National Healthy Schools Standard can be awarded to schools who demonstrate that they are meeting high standards in a range of health related areas.  The school was assessed on its Personal, Social and Health Education courses, its provision for school meals and healthy eating choices, the quality of its Physical Education including extra curricular activities and for the way that it makes supports student’s emotional health and well being.

Student Council representative Molly Foster said ‘It is really great to receive this award.  One of the things we had the chance to do during council last year was to put forward our ideas for the canteen menu. It was nice to see our ideas being taken seriously’. 

Kay Taylor, Headteacher, said ‘This has been one of the best years ever for the school and receiving this award is a really pleasing way to start the new term.  In just a few weeks we will be opening our new fitness suite and this will be another way in which our students and staff can stay healthy”.
