HEALTHY SCHOOLS
Introduction
• The Healthy Schools Programme was
introduced in 2005 because the health of young
people was attracting a lot of negative attention
eg obesity, sexual health
• The programme reflects the Government’s
commitment to putting more emphasis on
measures to improve the health of young people
• The forthcoming Olympic Games in 2012
provides an ideal opportunity to harness an
enhanced level of interest in sport and the
benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
Aims of the National Healthy
Schools Programme

developing healthy behaviours
