Making our school healthy

Students have constructed a survey to find out about the eating and/or exercise habits in the school. They carry this out (limiting it to their year group or a selection of classes). The survey may have links to the Explore lesson if they have visited some of the suggested venues. Following this, students produce a report to summarise what they have found and what steps need to be taken to improve health. This could involve looking at exercise opportunities and school dinners.

Learner outcomes

• To produce a detailed and balanced report showing the benefits of making changes to an aspect of the school including details of the impact this change might have.
• To produce a cost analysis for suggested changes i.e. set up a business plan for the proposed change.
• Learners should present answers to questions and enquiry carried out about health based on observations during the Explore lesson and other lessons in the unit.
• Learners use a variety of charts and graphs to represent the data they have collected on healthy living.
