"The Healthy Schools Programme is 10 years old this year. And it is today more relevant and more central to our agenda than ever before, because it’s about the long-term health of the country.

"There are countless examples of creativity and innovation from schools in supporting the health and wellbeing of their pupils - and I have every confidence that Healthy Schools will continue to provide vital support to schools as we move forwards, building towards our ambition for the 21st Century School."

Ed Balls, Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families
