Healthy Schools- How we can help
The healthy Schools initiative is formed from four core themes that include PSHE education, healthy eating, physical activity and emotional wellbeing.
We provide supportive outdoor activities, either at our Watford Site or at client premises, that encourage healthy eating, physical activity, emotional wellbeing in a safe and engaging way for children who are fully able and who have special educational needs.
Healthy Eating :- Many children today have little experience of where food comes from or how to use natural produce in their daily lives. Growing your own food or engaging farmers and their animals gives children a completely different perception of food and healthy eating.| Growing Vegetables | Animal Husbandry | Identifying

Physical Activity :- Outdoor activities are great way to promote an active lifestyle and help children appreciate the benefits of physical work.

Emotional Wellbeing :- Children can have real challenges with the structure of traditional education. Our approach is built around engaging activities where children enjoy what they are doing, see positive outcomes, receive the due praise and interact with the trainers and other students.

We provide schools external services and activities that support a number of the "Healthy Schools" core initiatives. Each engagement is fully tailored to the schools and children's needs. Activities can range from full day to shorter craft sessions. All activities can be linked to other educational curriculum thus building and cross linked framework of activities that feeds into subjects like Art, Cookery, Biology, Materials etc. For more information see the following.
