Health and Wellbeing

From September 2020 the Health Education elements of PSHE education are compulsory in all schools. The statutory guidance for Health Education covers physical health, mental health and emotional wellbeing. This statutory guidance recognises that physical health and mental health are interlinked and that good physical health contributes to good mental health, and vice versa.
