Please see below information from Sam Lord about the Healthy Schools and the First Steps award.
Dear Head teachers, deputy head teachers and healthy school leads,
I hope this email finds you well.
Healthy schools have been put out to tender by the Lord Mayors office. The organization who is going to take over Healthy schools and the awards process will be the NCB (National Childrens Bureau). They will re-launch Healthy schools and the award scheme in September 2023.
I recently had a meeting with the NCB (National Children’s bureau). LBHF wanted some clarity on what is happening to expired and existing awards, due to expire before September 2023.
In the meeting I was informed of the following information.
Nurseries / Early Year Providers:
All nurseries and early year providers, who have a First Steps, award, please note that this does not have an expiry date.
However, updated information about the First Steps award, and how it will change, will be available to you all from September 2023.
If you have any queries or questions regarding the new Healthy Schools award scheme, then please contact Adi at HSL [email protected].
