As part of the national priority related to improving the diet and fitness of people in Scotland all Fife schools participate in the Health Promoting Schools programme

The national website offers a wealth of information and is worth visiting.

Hungry for Success is an initiative linked directly to Health Promoting Schools.

Health and Wellbeing Awards

External stakeholders believe that Fife Education is also helping to produce young people who are improving the health and well being of society. 151 schools (83% and an increase of 24 from 2010) had achieved Phase 2 of the Health Promoting Schools Programme and 23 (an increase of 19 from 2010) at Phase 3 accreditation as Health Promoting Schools.

We are a sector leading authority in relation to health promotion. Other councils regularly ask for our materials at national Learning Teaching Scotland network meetings and we are recognised for having a HPS framework that translates very readily into the Health and Wellbeing framework within Curriculum for Excellence.
