The healthy schools rating scheme is a voluntary scheme for schools that recognises and encourages their contribution to supporting pupils health and wellbeing.

Schools will be able to determine how well they are promoting healthy eating and physical activity by completing a self-assessment and receiving a rating based on their answers.

They will receive an award for their performance, and information on how they might improve their healthy living policies.

Schools can use the award to show parents how they have performed.
