The link between pupil health and wellbeing and attainment

Friday 21st November 2014

This briefing provides a broad, succinct scope of the scientific evidence highlighting the link between health and wellbeing and educational attainment. It underlines the value for schools of promoting health and wellbeing as an integral part of a school effectiveness strategy, and highlights the important contribution of a whole-school approach.

The briefing from public Health England is for head teachers, governors and staff in education settings. 

In Wiltshire we support schools to use an effective whole school approach through our Healthy Schools programme.
