• encourages pupils to recognise that what they do counts;
   
• recognises that health education is not just taught, but reinforced in the daily life of the school and local community;
   
• offers help and support when pupils or staff are facing difficulty;
   
• helps pupils feel safe when they are learning;
   
• provides all the information pupils require about nutrition, exercise, relationships, safety, smoking, drugs and alcohol, and encourages them to take responsibility for their actions.
