Working closely with our partners from a range of agencies and organisations across county who are working to support schools in many different ways is vital to the success of the new healthy school standard.

OUR VISION

Our vision is that schools will be able to access advice, information and school-based support that will help them achieve targets from their healthy schools action plan from partners who are best placed to provide expert input in the context of their existing relationship with schools.

Eventually we hope that partners will be helping schools judge whether they are ready for validation in appropriate core themes.

We want to show partners how a school’s healthy schools involvement can help the bring added value to the partners work with the school and their own targets and outcomes for that work.

We would also like to see our work with partners as an opportunity to signpost schools to excellent services / support from partners not already engaged in schools.

ACHIEVING THE VISION

Achieving this vision will require us to ensure we get to know and meet as many partners as possible and share information about what Healthy Schools is and how we can support them in their work with schools.

We are compiling a list of partners (existing and potential) and trying to make sure they get to know about Healthy Schools via our newsletter, website etc.

PARTNERS EVENTS

We are also holding a rolling programme of partners' events. These half day meetings (with lunch!) will provide opportunities for partners to hear about what is going on with healthy schools; discover how they can support schools towards gaining / maintaining HS status; network with each other and find out how HS can help their work.

All welcome.
