HEALTHY SCHOOLS

Mission, Vision and Culture

Staff and pupils of Villa Real School are very proud to be acknowledged with a healthy school’s award. The leadership team embrace an ethos of care and collaboration in respect of children and staff health and wellbeing. At Villa Real School we want to promote the health and well-being of the whole school community, through all aspects of food and drink, curriculum, physical activity and positive emotional health. We recognise that a healthy school is one that is successful in helping pupils to do their best and build on their achievements. We promote physical and emotional health by providing accessible and relevant information and equipping pupils with the skills and attitudes to make informed decisions about their health. We have achieved ‘Healthy School Status – Silver’ and continue to develop to achieve Gold.
