Kids'Get Healthy' and celebrate silver award

PUPILS at New Leake primary school are the first to celebrate the successful completion of their Silver Award after jumping on board to get healthy.

Let's Get Healthy is a programme that focuses on helping participants gain a better understanding of physical activity, food awareness and healthier nutrition choices.

New Leake pupils and their families have taken on the six week jump on board programme to adopt healthier eating habits and to be more physically active.

Headteacher, Miss Whant, said: "We pride ourselves on helping our pupils and their families enjoy the benefits of a healthier and happier lifestyle. New Leake is the first school in Lincolnshire to complete the Silver Programme."

Participants are assisted into making improvements within their own abilities in order for them to achieve a healthier, positive lifestyle.

Based in Bradford, Let's Get Healthy also offers a range of tiered programmes for schools, businesses and communities across the UK using their mobile studio.

Miss Whant added: "I have been delighted to see our pupils take part in the jump on board programme and observe them taking part and having fun whilst learning about their own health and wellbeing."

A gold level is also available which sees participating schools take the scheme in-house ad run it as a permanent part of the pupil's education.
