Primary Health Ambassadors

The Health Ambassador Pilot aims to empower young people to not only make informed choices regarding their own health, but to allow them to inspire younger children both within school and in the wider community

What Schools will receive 

• 6 x 2-hour weekly sessions delivered by TeamMCR within school for 10 of your Key Stage 2 pupils. They will become your schools ‘Health Ambassadors’ 

• The sessions will cover the following health topics, the importance of being active, healthy eating, healthy sleep and a healthy mind. Please note; a member of your school staff is required to be present.  

• The sessions will also focus on upskilling your ‘Health Ambassadors’ to then deliver weekly after school clubs for Key Stage 1 children, focusing on improving physical activity levels and introducing other elements of a healthy lifestyle. 

• The final session will be delivered at the Manchester Institute of Health and Performance and celebrate the children’s learnings.  

• Children will complete a workbook throughout the 6 weeks, resulting in a fantastic opportunity to evidence the impact of the programme and the impact they can now have within school. 

• The programme was created in line with much of the School Games mark requirements meaning it provides excellent evidence for future applications – involving the areas of engaging children in the promotion of 60 active minutes, involvement of youth voice, leadership opportunities within school and support across transition through the varying key stages. 

One Teacher said 

‘We are seeing a really positive impact from the new Health Ambassadors program. It is not only benefiting the participating pupils by giving them confidence, independence, and new skills, but it is also helping them support our younger pupils to enjoy a wide range of activities. This supports the school’s wider agenda to ensure that all pupils engage in physical activity for at least 60 minutes per day.’
