On behalf of Lancashire Healthy Schools Programme, I am pleased to be able to invite your school to attend a free practical one day training course which aims to support and inspire primary colleagues to deliver effective Food Technology in the classroom. 

Participation in this training will support schools to meet and renew National Healthy School Status and will contribute towards assisting schools to meet the Every Child Matters outcomes.

Be Active Eat Healthy challenge invites children and young people from schools across Lancashire to:

Develop a Be Active Eat Healthy Campaign within their school/ local community to promote key messages and help their chosen target audience to make healthier lifestyle choices

This challenge supports the target in the Lancashire's Children and Young People's Plan to reduce the proportion of obese and overweight children and provides the opportunity for young people to become proactively involved.

Schools can join the challenge as an individual school or cluster of schools at any point during this Autumn or Spring Term.  The deadline to submit a case study to explain the campaign and its impact is 28th May 2010.

The Simple Steps resource, available as a free loan for a term, can be used in school to help promote safe and active travel to and from school.  The resource contains reflective jackets, step counters, curriculum and information guides, teacher's guide and posters.

Please note that schools who borrow Simple Steps do enter into an agreement to look after the resource and to pay for any items that are lost or damaged in use.  This helps to ensure that we can keep lending the resource to schools free of charge.

If you would like to borrow the resource then contact your Healthy School Co-ordinator.

In preparation for schools to be able to maintain the National Healthy Schools Status (NHSS) and move on to the Enhanced Model, an individual username and password are needed in order to access the School's area of the National Healthy Schools website.

During this half term we will be releasing these details and an automated e-mail will be sent to the person in your school whose details you provided two years ago when we registered your school on the National website.  The title of the automated e-mail will have the words 'no reply' and the sender will be National Healthy Schools Programme.

It is essential that the username and password are kept.  However, if the e-mail address or the key contact for your school has changed over the last two years, please contact the member of our team who is dealing with this matter at caroline.anderton@lancashire.gov.uk.  If you do not receive the automated e-mail by the end of this half term, please contact Caroline at the e-mail address above or telephone 01257 226900.
