any pointers would be greatly appreciated

Healthy eating and proper physical activities are very important for everyone specially for kids.
Following is some core points that you can check.

• Maximize opportunities for physical activity (both unintentional and intentional) as part of the school routine.

• Consider school spaces and features as opportunities to promote children’s natural inclination to move, play, and explore.

• Apply theory- and evidence-based behavioral science practice to enable the school community to engage in higher levels of default physical activity.

• Conceive and articulate school spaces as community assets, and identify nearby community spaces as school assets, to multiply the benefits of school-based healthy physical activity initiatives.

• Leverage inherent synergies with current trends in sustainable and universal design, which respectively define good design based on sensitivity to environmental impacts, and accommodation of all user needs and perspectives.
