Congratulations to Histon and Impington Park Primary School for achieving the Healthy Schools Award and demonstrating a clear commitment to student health, wellbeing and resilience. A strong therapeutic ethos runs through school life supported by Flourishing Starts sessions, counselling provision and dedicated wellbeing spaces that ensure students feel safe and supported.
Active lifestyles are central to the school culture, with specialist PE teaching, strong partnerships with South Cambridgeshire Sports Partnership, a travel plan and achievement of the Gold School Games Mark. Students take on leadership roles through councils and play leadership, helping to shape decisions around playground development and healthy eating priorities.
Healthy eating is promoted through progressive curriculum planning and close collaboration with the catering provider, including seasonal menus and regular weighing and composting of food waste. Inclusion is embedded across the curriculum and environment, with prejudice related incidents reviewed carefully and diverse perspectives celebrated through assemblies and reading materials.
Histon and Impington Park Primary School is a strong example of a school community working together to support every student to thrive.
