Wiltshire Healthy Schools

Chilmark and Fonthill Bishop Primary School have signed up to Wiltshire Healthy Schools, a Wiltshire Council programme provided to present a joined-up approach to support schools address the health and wellbeing of all young people.

We are “working towards” meeting the standards and as we progress we will be accredited with bronze, silver and then gold levels of attainment.

The programme clarifies the actions all schools can take to promote the health and wellbeing of young people, from universal prevention and education to targeted interventions and treatment. The programme brings together good practice on all health-related issues and provides consistent messages, encouraging and supporting schools to focus on approaches that are particularly effective.

The Wiltshire Healthy Schools Standards have been developed to meet the health priorities and needs of the children and young people of Wiltshire. The Standards are linked to the current Ofsted Common Inspection Framework, national and local Public Health Outcomes and other guidance for schools including from NICE (National Institute of health and Care Excellence).
