Gloucestershire Healthy Schools Award

The healthy schools rating scheme has been designed to recognise and encourage schools’ contributions to pupils’ health and wellbeing. It celebrates the positive actions that schools are delivering in terms of healthy eating and physical activity, and aims to help schools identify useful next steps in their provision. This is a voluntary scheme where schools complete a self-assessment and then receive a rating based on their responses around healthy eating and physical activity. This is something that we are very passionate about at Mitton and we try to to encourage our children to stay healthy and active through many different extra activities, such as the Daily Mile, Rainbow Lunches, Fit4ten sessions run by our Sports Council, health focus weeks and investing in extra equipment for our playgrounds. We are happy to announce that due to our achievements, we have achieved the Healthy Schools award again up to 2026. Well done to all of our families, children and staff who helped us show off how much health matters to us at Mitton Manor.
