Awards Go to Schools

MORE than 50 healthy schools will be recognised at an awards ceremony.

Northumberland County Council has organised the event at Alnwick Gardens on Tuesday for schools that have achieved Healthy School Status.

It congratulates the schools for providing an environment where young people can be healthy and happy.

Jim Wright, executive member for children’s services, said: “Healthy Schools helps youngsters reach their potential by building on a solid foundation of health to do better in learning and in life.

“The Healthy Schools Programme isn’t just about physical health, it’s about good health and happiness inside and out..”
