Carisbrooke College Awarded the PEACH Bronze  Award

Carisbrooke College has been awarded the Partnership for Education, Attainment and Children’s Health (PEACH) bronze  award. The award is for the College’s commitment to improving the wellbeing, health and attainment  of students throughout the school.  The award is a self review of 34 criteria which is then assessed by an independent panel.   Carisbrooke and Medina College are the first secondary schools on the Isle of Wight to achieve this award.

 

The award focuses on four domains:

• Personal, Social, Health and Economic education.  How the whole curriculum promotes students’ learning on emerging issues, relationships, diversity and health issues across a range of contexts.

• Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health – How the school provides and raises awareness of students’ emotional health and mental wellbeing to build confidence, resilience and raise self esteem.

• Physical Activity – The importance of physical activity in school during lessons, not just PE lessons, and also extra curricular provision.

• Healthy Eating – The importance of nutrition through curriculum subjects, school lunch providers and general reinforcement of healthy eating.

This is a tremendous achievement for all of us at Carisbrooke and recognises the great work which we are undertaking to improve wellbeing for everyone in the Carisbrooke Community.  A huge thank you to all of the staff, students and governors who have helped us to achieve this award.
