London’s Deputy Mayor for Education and Childcare, Joanne McCartney, today visited Park Walk Primary School in Chelsea to see the work being done to improve the health of their pupils and achieve the Mayor’s Healthy Schools London Gold Award status.
Park Walk Primary School has received the Healthy Schools London Gold Award in recognition of their efforts to promote physical activity and enhance students’ emotional wellbeing.
The Deputy Mayor saw the impact this work is having as she met with staff and students enjoying breaktime snacks of fruit and vegetables and taking part in decision making exercises to help build up their confidence.
The Mayor of London is supporting schools in creating healthier environments for their pupils. Healthy Schools London gives Bronze, Silver and Gold awards to schools that undertake activities which encourage children to learn about their health, and develop their motivation to make healthy choices.
