Abstract
Discusses the growth in recent years of a number of health‐promoting school award schemes sponsored by local education authorities and NHS trusts, and questions their ability to promote and measure a health‐promoting ethos in schools effectively. Proposes that this is because the health of staff is so dependent on the management of the school. Suggests that to overcome this problem any such award scheme should be supplemented by the application of the Investors in People scheme which ensures healthy management of staff.
