Healthy You Crew

The Healthy You Crew is a programme to establish 4-6 pupils as school wide healthy eating ambassadors. The Healthy You Crew will gain access to student-led online learning, focused around healthy eating and nutrition, at a time that suits them. Each session will end with a small challenge/task for the Healthy You Crew to take to the wider school to complete. A notice board with information, photos and outcomes from the challenges could be displayed at the school to evidence the work the Healthy You Crew are doing and the positive steps the school have made.
