What was done?
These films highlight a range of approaches which have been used in different settings to embed health and wellbeing across differing establishments and sectors.
Why?
Each establishment had their own reason for initiating change and a new approach towards health and wellbeing. They illustrate the vital role health and wellbeing plays in supporting learners across the four contexts of learning.
What was the impact?
Examples of impact include:
- The school reports that learners are more confident and have an improved understanding of health and wellbeing as a result.
- The process of being involved in creating the values and creating pride in their school has developed their confidence.
- Pupils are far more able to deal with any problems that come their way.
- Pupils have left school with a feeling that they've grown, but they've also given something back to the school. They acknowledge their contribution to the school and the legacy for the youngsters who come after them.
- There is a higher attendance at school on days when these activities are to the forefront.
