Healthy Schools

Little Ilford School works hard to instil the benefits of health and wellbeing into their students.  Healthy Schools Week takes place once a year in January and then we have three additional Healthy Highlights feature days spread over the remainder of the year.  As a result we have been accredited under the TFL Stars scheme at gold level for our promotion of more walking, cycling and use of public transport for school travel.
