Healthy Schools
“Milford receives the Healthy Schools Gold Standard Award”
Milford School received the Healthy Schools Gold Standard in 2007. This award
recognised how well the children are looked after at the school, how they
are encouraged to lead healthy lifestyles, and their attitude to those around them.
We now have an annual review to ensure the standard is being maintained,
and this was carried out and passed at the beginning of the year. Our
school has a very caring ethos and our standards of behaviour are excellent.
Some of the work we do on healthy lifestyles is apparent on our sports pages.
The staff are also learning with the children about healthy eating,
growing food and sustainability. All classes have an allotment, and
we have already started supplying the school cook with small amounts
of vegetables to supplement our school dinner!

We are excited to be among the first schools in Nottingham to move
onto the Healthy Schools enhancement model. We are able to do this
now we have established a foundation for health and well being within
the school. The enhancement model enables us to work with a wider range
of partners, and to contribute to the wider health and well being agenda.
We’ll let you know how we get on very soon.
