Public Health England
Report
Linking Pupil Well Being
with Attainment
Key points from the evidence
1. Pupils with better health and wellbeing
are likely to achieve better academically.
2. Effective social and emotional competencies are associated with
greater health and wellbeing, and better achievement.
3. The culture, ethos and environment of a school influences the health
and wellbeing of pupils and their readiness to learn.
4. A positive association exists between academic attainment and
physical activity levels of pupils.
School Meals in Hampshire
Hampshire Healthy Schools and
HC3S working together
Importance of School Food and
Positive Lunchtimes

need for high quality PDL.
• Ideas from Jenny Mosley in most recent PDL
Newsletter which will help improve lunchtimes
and thereby improve afternoon learning
School Meal Update
Infants
• County average is 81%.
• Best schools can do 100% so it is possible.
• Some schools are below 70% and will have
received letter from David Laws.
• Local support through HC3S which includes
£400 to help with the lunchtime.
School Meal Update
Juniors
• School Food Plan requires increase in uptake from
juniors
• What are the figures for your school? What is the
uptake for Free School meals? (In one school that is
as low as 17%)?
• HC3S are supporting most vulnerable schools. Ten
targeted as below the requirement for all three
indicators.
• Three key indicators are
– Uptake overall (43%)
– Uptake of FSM (76%)
– Paid uptake (35%)
School Meal Update

the support that is available to infant and junior
schools.
School Meal Update
Secondary

uptake
• New scheme – “School Food Champions” being
launched

School Meals Update
What’s Working Well
• Heads drive success
• Adults eating with the children really is crucial.
Schools trying imaginative ways of increasing
this
Staff rota – eat with children once a fortnight!
Inviting parents in to eat with the children
Any visitors stay and have lunch with the children
Governors come in and meet the children over lunch
School Meals Update
What’s Working Well
• Keep queues to a minimum
• Involve the children to give them a sense of
ownership
• Put the school’s endorsement of the school
dinner as the healthy option on the website and
in communications to parents.
• Give parents the opportunity to come in and try
the food
• Ban packed lunches altogether!!
Supporting the Whole School
Approach to Lunchtimes
• Lunchtime is your “Cuprinol” time! Does your
school’s value system does what it says on the
tin? Are lunchtimes for your children a safe and
happy time or does their behaviour radically
alter? Do you spend part of many afternoons
dealing with issues that arose at lunchtime?
• We can help! Call us.
RRR update
• Stephen Morton and Minnie Moore – supporting schools
• Back to Basics with RRR new course running.
• The course is aimed at schools who want to pick up on,

more embedded in the school.
