School health events

School health events are organised by schools in the borough and supported by Sports Development. These events normally include topics such as physical activity, healthy eating, personal- safety (sun awareness in the summer). School nurses, dental specialists and primary care advisors in Wandsworth can support health events in schools.

• Healthy eating
• Physical activity
• Sun awareness in the summer months
• Personal safety in the winter months
• That the whole school think health is important
• Positive role models
• Counts towards the school achieving healthy school status under national healthy school scheme

We have previously supported a number of schools in delivering their health week. In particular, we have delivered a Whole School Workout in a couple of schools. The events were a great success and we hope to do more workouts in 2007!
