The Health for Life programme entitles you to a series of funded training days.

This session will support you with everything you need to know about successfully completing the Healthy Eating and Cooking strand in your school.

A number of visiting speakers will inform you of support available to embed HfL across your school and we will consider your action plan and curriculum opportunities to ensure that HfL is built into school life and is not another ‘add on’. This is a great opportunity to network with your cohort too!
