There is a duty on all schools to promote the well being of their pupils and for well being to be achieved by all pupils through the provision of an enjoyable curriculum.
The Children's Plan has announced the development of strong school level indicators that 'taken together, will measure a school's contribution to pupil well being' These indicators are to be reflected in OfSTEDs new inspection framework in 2009. This course aims to demonstrate how schools can use existing practices to better support well being - and where in a school evidence against the indicators can be found.
The aims of the course are to:
* Understand what we mean by well being
* Consider why this is important now
* Examine the Well Being Guidance and Key Messages
* Show how to audit and evidence school provision for Well Being
