Health and Well-being
Health and Well-being is a central part of our curriculum.
Physical health and development, mental health, and emotional and social well-being are the key concepts within the new curriculum. Our learners will be supported to understand and appreciate how the different components of health and well-being are interconnected, and that good health and well-being are important to enable successful learning.
Through our whole-school approach we are enabling health and well-being to permeate all aspects of school life.
