The Essex Healthy Schools Programme is a school health improvement strategy which builds on the commitment within Essex schools to better the health and wellbeing of children and young people.

            St. Luke's C or E Primary School; Essex Healthy Schools Foundation Status.

A healthy school seeks to provide a healthy environment that engages all – children & young people, staff, parents/carers and the wider community through a whole school approach.

The whole school approach is an extremely effective, evidence-based school improvement mechanism that brings about and embeds cultural change in schools.

Core themes in our work include:

1. Personal, social and health education
2. Emotional health and wellbeing
3. Healthy eating
4. Physical activity
5. Pupil voice
6. Parents, carers and community
