Linlithgow Academy Case Study

Cluster Challenge

The key points to this case study are:

• addresses aspects of Curriculum for Excellence
• involves collaborative working
• uses peer education.

The specific aim of this project was to devise a health and physical activity initiative in cluster schools, working in partnership with pupils, parents and carers, school and catering staff and health professionals.

The Linlithgow Academy cluster of health promoting schools ran a six-week Challenge, inviting around 600 pupils and their parents to think about some of the choices they make each day which impact on their health.

The Challenge is part of the health promoting school curriculum and is funded through West Lothian’s Hungry for Success whole school approach to healthy eating initiative. The cost of the project totalled £7000.
