Coinciding with not just the health and wellbeing challenges of the District but the new coding curriculum requirements in primary schools, the Schools App Challenge competition was created to uniquely sit as ‘the intersection’ between health and education.
Launched by West Wakefield Health & Wellbeing back in January 2015 as part of the Prime Minister’s Challenge Fund and now in it’s third year, the competition asks children to help co-create health apps. Apps that help other youngsters their age make good physical, mental health and wellbeing choices in the future.
What originally started out with just a handful of schools within West Wakefield’s footprint, the competition has now expanded to primary schools across Wakefield thanks to funding secured from NHS England, with the ultimate intention to roll out nationally from 2017.
