- Summary:
- Moving to a brand new building in 2002 triggered John Hanson's transformation into a completely healthy secondary school. The old site in Andover that dated back to the 1930s had, according to Headteacher Steve Evatt, 'long passed its sell by date'. The new high-tech building has enabled the school to pursue the Healthy Schools Initiative with vigour in a truly holistic manner. They are particularly proud of the work they do to improve the social and emotional health of their students and point to a highly successful 'Peer Listening' scheme which has greatly improved the self esteem and confidence of their pupils, and to the promotion of healthy food, diet and fitness all blended into the school day. In addition the school promotes the 'the three Rs' - rights, respect and responsibility. In recognition of this John Hanson received the UNICEF Rights Respecting Schools Award in 2006.
