The Health for Life programme is an amazing GRANT FUNDED opportunity to enhance creativity in your curriculum, whilst building true life-skills into your pupil’s learning.

The multi award-winning, ‘Health for Life’ enters its 14th year in Birmingham and your school is now eligible for September 2025′ cohort.

SLTs are invited to come along (and bring appropriate colleagues whom you may wish to lead on the programme) to find out about the content and expectations, plus support and training received. You will also hear a real account of undertaking Health for Life, ‘straight from the horse’s mouth’, from one of our current school’s HfL leads.

This free briefing will explain:

• What is expected
• What you can spend your £3,500 grant on
• What do the ‘subject’ strands encompass: Healthy Eating and Cooking, Growing Food & Physical Activity
• Family Involvement
• Q&A in an informal and friendly briefing to help you to decide if this programme suits your school’s curriculum and ethos
• How to apply

It is essential that a member of SLT comes to this briefing as they will be able to commit the school to the programme requirements. Please sign up as many other colleagues as you would like to come to the briefing as well.
