What is Manchester Healthy Schools?

Manchester Healthy Schools is an initiative aimed at promoting the health and wellbeing of children, families, and school communities across Manchester. The programme focuses on encouraging healthier lifestyles and supporting schools in creating environments that foster good physical and emotional health.

Supporting Schools

• Develop a whole-school approach to health and wellbeing.
• Introduce healthy eating programmes and physical activity initiatives.
• Promote mental health awareness and support systems.
• Create safe and supportive environments for all students.

Supporting Families

• Providing workshops and information sessions on nutrition and physical activity.
• Encouraging family involvement in health promotion activities.
• Sharing tips and resources for promoting mental well-being among family members.

The Manchester Healthy Schools initiative plays a vital role in fostering healthier school environments and empowering families to engage in healthier lifestyles. By working together, they aim to ensure that children in Manchester grow up happy, healthy, and ready to learn.
