RedBranch in Schools

We run a free schools consultancy service that offers advice on policy and the integration of health issues into the curriculum. We can also help schools to improve access to healthy food choices. All our services are free to schools. Whether or not schools engage in our full consultancy service, our resource materials are freely available to your school. You can read about our full consultancy service for schools by clicking here, or you can contact us for more details. For information on joining our schools lifestyle programme, click the "Getting Started" button on the left or click here.

We provide a range of teacher resources that can help you to introduce health-related themes into your teaching. You can access our range of parent factsheets by clicking the link on the left.

We also help schools to develop lifestyle-related policies (e.g. healthy eating policies) and you can access our school lifestyle template policy document by clicking here.

Please let us know how the number of copies of our material that you distribute. For example, if you would like to use our parent factsheet on healthy lunchboxes, just email us and let us know how many copies you will be distributing.
