Healthy School
Ysgol Morfa Nefyn is a healthy school! This means that we follow the 'Gwynedd Healthy schools scheme'. In July 2016, we received the National Quality Award which is phase 6 (the final phase) of the scheme. Keith Parry, the Educational Officer of Dwyfor and Ann Hughes from the Gwynedd healthy school scheme came to school to present the pupils with the new plaque.
The scheme allows the school to contribute positively towards the health and welfare of the pupils, staff and the wider community by developing an environment which in turn encourages health. |

The ‘Healthy schools scheme’ introduces health and welfare issues by way of:
• | The National Curriculum of the school and the practical activities of the foundation phase |
• | Ethos of the school and day to day activities |
• | Developing the partnership which exists between the school and home as well as various other agencies. |

Walking to school week May 2016 Carys Ofalus was invited to school again by the School Council. She reminded the children of road safety rules before the School Council encouraged them to walk to school daily. The staff, pupils and the road safety officer walked a short journey around the village to school on Monday morning to encourage everyone to continue throughout the term. Everyone enjoyed a tasty and healthy breakfast after arriving back at school. The School Council will take register of everyone who is walking to school every day and will award at the end of the term. Click here to see photos of the first morning. |
