A Fit4Life Harrow Charter has been produced by London Borough of Harrow, the Public Health team and Harrow Education Partnership teams. The charter is a commitment from ALL Harrow schools to improve the health outcomes of its pupils.

As a parent/carer of a Harrow pupil, you should support your child by: 

• Reducing the amount of sugary foods and drinks
• Providing healthy snacks at the end of the school day
• Exercise with children outside of school for at least 30 minutes a day – this could be as simple as a walk to and from school
• Sign-up and regularly attend an NHS Dentist and ensure your child brushes their teeth at least twice a day
• Ensure your children are up-to-date with vaccinations
• Talk to your children each day about how they are feeling and how their day went.

Health and fitness must be a priority to help improve young children’s life chances.

Priestmead School is part of the walk to school initiative and would like all parents to be involved in our community to support this for a healthier and environmentally life and take responsibility of encouraging our children to walk, scooter, cycle or park and stride to school.
