The Health and Wellbeing Service have created three online self-evaluation tools to support schools and settings to evaluate their health and wellbeing offer for children and young people:
- Heathy Schools - School Health Check - healthyschools.org.uk
- Heathy Schools – Early Years - healthyschoolsearlyyears.org.uk/

All Settings:
The School Health Check supports schools and settings to develop and embed the fundamental elements to achieve Healthy School Status. This online self-evaluation tool is accessed via our sister website www.healthyschools.org.uk
Through the use of the School Health Check, schools and school settings across the country, and beyond, have improved health and wellbeing outcomes for their pupils/students.
- Over 550 schools are currently registered on our Healthy Schools website.
- In the last 3 years we have accepted over 150 submissions to achieve self-validated Healthy Schools Status and carried out over 60 external Healthy Schools assessments.
Feedback from schools is overwhelming positive:
“The School Health Check is an excellent practical tool that helped us identify strengths and next steps in order to support to the health and wellbeing of our children and young people.” (Bardsey Primary School, Leeds)
