Examples of actions include:

• Setting up a fruit tuck shop/healthy break time snacks only/free KS1 milk at break time
• Water @ desks
• A whole school approach to circle time
• Recycling
• Becoming an eco-school
• PSE auditing and mapping
• Setting up a breakfast club
• Active play times/structured outdoor play/playground zoning/training lunchtime supervisors in traditional playground games
• Setting up an effective school council
• Peer support/playground buddies
• A high profile health event /health week/food and fitness day

At least two of the annual healthy schools actions must be sustainable. One of the actions can be a one-off/high profile event which does not have to be revisited.

When schools reach Phases 4-7 they must take at least 2 years to complete one action. These actions can be in the form of a project, for example the eco-schools green flag, a whole school approach to healthy eating, a whole school approach to mental health and well being or a whole school integrated and progressive approach to PSE.

Each school must complete;

An action plan for each action (some model plans are available)
An Annual Review
In order to become accredited, a portfolio of evidence must be produced (with at least four pieces of evidence per action),  or a visit must be arranged to demonstrate how a school is meeting its actions.
