Health and Well-Being

Health and well-being in schools

We want all children and young people to be able to learn about health and well-being to ensure they acquire skills to live healthy, happy lives.

Health and well-being isn’t a single subject or class, but is organised into six areas: mental, emotional, social and physical well-being; planning for choices and changes; physical education, physical activity and sport; food and health; substance misuse; and relationships, sexual health and parenthood.

Health and well-being is also about ensuring that pupils are able to make the most of their educational opportunities regardless of their background or financial circumstances and through promotion of attendance at school.
