Southampton Directory | Healthy High 5 Award

The Healthy High 5 Award has been launched in Southampton to make it easier for schools to provide healthy and fun activities for all pupils to improve their wellbeing and in the challenging times of 2020 this has become even more important.

The Healthy High 5 Award has five achievable elements (stars) designed to have a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of all school pupils. For a school to achieve the full award all five stars criteria will need to be met. The school will then continue to demonstrate improvement (make these areas even better) or maintain the standard they have got to each term. While a school is working to achieve these stars, it will be considered to be ‘working towards’ the Healthy High 5 Award. The award links in with local and national education and health policies and guidance. It also offers involvement as a school in themed activities such as ‘growing the tallest sunflower in the City’, National Fitness Day in association with Active Nation, mindfulness activities and the schools ‘Marathon Challenge’.

If you are a parent, speak to your child’s head teacher about getting your school signed up for the Healthy High Five Award.

If you are a head teacher and would like to sign up, please call 0300 123 6661 (Main School Nursing / Health Visitor Number) and ask to speak to someone about HH5, or email snhs.healthyhigh5@nhs.net (subject line Healthy High 5 & your Schools Name).
