Ofsted-outstanding
• “…Many groups, including those most at
risk, are very keen to take action to
improve their health and enthusiastically
take up activities to do so. A wide range of
pupils respond positively to the school’s
health promotion strategies and are
themselves ambassadors for health
promotion when talking to others.”
