Healthier living. Skerton Community High School. 4
Description
Skerton Community High School occupies a commanding position above the River Lune, but this first impression is misleading. The area is run down and depressed, and recently the school has been through troubled times. In just over two years, though, the school has turned itself around, and they believe the transformation has been largely brought about by embracing the Healthy Schools Initiative. They cite the following examples: improved pupil and teacher relations which have brought a renewed respect and understanding - Healthy Eating initiatives including a Cook and Eat scheme where students bring along ingredients to make meals, which they then take home - the school has staged a number of bike to school days and they now plan to become the first school in England to provide free bikes for all their students - a thriving nurture group to assist those pupils with behavioural and emotional issues.
