The Young Carers in Schools Award allows schools to gain recognition from leading charities for their good practice and ability to meet the needs of young carers.

A Healthy School:

  • Is one that promotes physical, social, emotional and mental health and helps equip pupils, staff and families with the skills and attitudes to make informed decisions about their health. 
  • Is successful in supporting pupils to do their best and build on their achievements; it is committed to ongoing improvement and development.
  • Recognises the importance of investing in health and wellbeing to assist in the process of raising children and young people’s achievement levels.
  • Involves the whole school community, parents, governors, staff and pupils in improving children’s health, wellbeing and happiness, helping them to get the most out of life.

The School Games Mark is a government-led awards scheme launched in 2012 to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community
