Healthy Schools

As a specialist science and health academy, we have embraced the National Healthy Schools Programme. This exciting long-term initiative promotes the link between good health, behaviour and achievement.

The National Healthy Schools Programme has four core themes, which relate to both the school curriculum and the emotional and physical learning environment in school:

  • Personal, Social & Health Education
  • Healthy Eating
  • Physical Activity
  • Emotional Health & Wellbeing

Achieving National Healthy School Status recognises that being healthy is not just about children and young people, it is about the whole school community. And it’s not just what happens in the curriculum, it’s about the entire school day.

At Dixons Allerton Academy we want all our children and young people to be healthy and achieve at school and in life. Arising from our specialist focus, students will find that new doors for the future are opened and new horizons for personal achievement are developed. The NHS is a very significant local employer; there are opportunities for a wide variety of students across the health and care sectors, and Bradford Royal Infirmary is very close by. We are seeking partnerships with Bradford College and the local NHS Trusts, which will balance Dixons' private sector and enterprise branding with a more public service focused school.

The specialism also provides a good focus for extended services, for example health services offered on site to students and their families. The new school could be a base for our NHS partners to deliver health education locally for students, staff and families. It is a specialism that will benefit from the attachment of a new primary school and possibly nursery provision on the site.
