Children and Young People’s Health and Wellbeing Websites!
Children and young people’s health and wellbeing are influenced by a range of physical, mental, social and environmental factors.
Education and health and wellbeing are closely linked. Pupils with better health and wellbeing are likely to achieve better academically. The culture, ethos and environment of a school influence the health and wellbeing of pupils and their readiness to learn. Staff wellbeing also plays a crucial role, as part of a whole school approach.
As of September 2020 (DfE 2019), the government proposes that all pupils will study compulsory Health Education as well as new reformed Relationships Education in primary schools and Relationships and Sex Education in secondary school. The new guidance aims to better equip children and young people to
- be resilient in today’s world, where issues such as cyber bullying and online safety are increasingly significant
- recognise recognise, understand and build healthy relationships, how relationships may affect health and wellbeing, including mental health, as well as healthy relationships.
All of these subjects should be set in the context of a wider whole schools’ approach to support pupils to be safe, happy and prepared for life beyond school. The schools uses the diocesan recommended scheme Ten Ten.
