For all those schools who have successfully become accredited with National Healthy School Status, there is now the opportunity to go one step further and Go for GOLD!

A much less formal process, Gold status requires the children/students to submit the application. It must be all their own work and should tell us why the school is a healthy school and more. It can be submitted in the medium of their choice and we have already received a variety!

If you would like any further information, contact one of the Team.

Good luck and we look forward to hearing from your children!
