The Journey So Far
The Living Well Schools team have had a very busy few months with the initial onboarding process.
So far, the team have:
- Onboarded 44 new schools
- Delivered 13 workshops/toolkits/assemblies
Way to go team!
Living Well Schools sits within the public health team at Bradford Council and aims to support schools in navigating the complexities of health and wellbeing promotion and provision within the district, linking, and signposting schools with quality evidence backed resources, tools, and providers to ensure every child can have the opportunity to thrive and achieve during their school life.
The four key areas of support include physical activity, nutrition, mental wellbeing, and poverty.
If your school is interested in finding out more about how the team can support you in being a Living Well School, please visit our website here.
We wish you a restful and recuperative summer break and look forward to working with you in September!

The wonderful Helen and Shaista, the Living Well Schools leads for Keighley and Bradford West, recently delivered a brilliant and inspiring whole school assembly at Co-op Academy Penny Oaks to kick start their healthy lifestyles week.
