Marland Hill Community Primary School
Together we will achieve more!
Healthy Schools
Healthy Schools
At Marland Hill we are extremely proud of our Healthy Schools status. As a Healthy School we meet the criteria in four core areas. These criteria relate not only to the taught curriculum but also to the emotional, physical and learning environment that the school provides. These areas are:
Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE)
Healthy Eating
Physical Activity
Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health (EWMH)
The core areas are separated here for the sake of clarity, but we address them all at the same time, as they are both interrelated and interdependent.
At Marland Hill we take a whole school approach in order to:
- Develop an ethos and environment that supports learning and promotes the health and wellbeing of all
- Engage, consult and encourage participation of all within the school community
- Create an extremely effective school improvement mechanism which brings about and embeds cultural and behavioural change in schools
Further information on how we cover these areas can be found across our website or by following the links below:
Healthy Eating
We have a nutritionally balanced school lunch menu and we encourage parents to provide healthy packed lunches. We provide a breakfast club and tuck shop with healthy choices. Children drink water throughout the day. Healthy Eating is also covered in the Curriculum. We have also hosted parents sessions to help them to prepare healthy meals for their children.
We have a rigorous programme of recording and monitoring allergy information and work with parents and healthy professionals to draw up care plans where appropriate. For children with specific dietary needs we provide tailored menus to meet those needs.

Physical Activity
At Marland Hill we have a comprehensive PE Curriculum which is supported by an extra curricular activity programme for all year groups. We encourage all children to take part in the extra curricular activities on offer. We ensure our extra curriculum activities are also accessible to any children with disabilities and additional support is provided. Inter School competitions are organised frequently and the children relish the opportunity to take part in competitive sports. Our News page of the website gives reports from sports activities we have entered.
