"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
its 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. Rt honourable Ed Balls
