Healthy Living

Mowden Hall recognises the importance of making positive lifestyle choices at an early age and encourages all pupils to consider the benefits of healthy living through cross-curricular activities.

Pupils are given information about a healthy diet and they are provided with a choice of well-balanced meals, which reflect the School's belief that a good diet is essential for maintaining optimum levels of health throughout life.

Regular display boards provide interest and information for pupils about health issues. Topics may range from common coughs and colds to a recent "Stepping out 4 Healthy Hearts" initiative, which aimed to increase awareness of coronary heart disease and prevention of this illness in later life.

We are currently working towards achievement of a national award, which results in Healthy School Status. This is a whole school approach involving staff responsible for PSHE provision, Physical Education, healthy eating and pastoral care.
