Staveley School is a Healthy School
Staveley is proud of its Healthy School's award gained in 2007. It is a recognition that we do all we can to ensure that our pupils and staff benefit from healthy lifestyles.
During their time at school, children are taught in lessons and by example about the importance of making healthy choices. This is often included within curriculum time in subject areas such as PE and Science.
There are a number of aspects to dialy life at school that also make a significant contribution:
