A PROGRAMME aimed at improving the health of pupils has been introduced at a North Somerset secondary school.

St Katherine’s School in Ham Green, Pill, has been awarded South West Healthy Schools Plus Status, which is an initiative aimed at encouraging healthier behaviour among children and young people.

The programme gives those schools which have already achieved the National Healthy School status the chance to build on their health-related initiatives.

St Katherine’s School has already compiled a programme of activities which has been popular with pupils.
