What are the wellbeing challenges in your school?

Kay Batkin, Graham Mallen and Carl Brown

Active Healthy Minds: A countywide partnership between

Public Health and schools that uses physical activity to address mental wellbeing in secondary schools.

• We will share the rational, overview and school based experience of an Active Healthy Mind approach.

• We will unpick aspects of the whole school approach and the vital role of Physical Education

• You will consider what this would mean for you back in your world and how you can take this forward

Session Outcomes

Mental Wellbeing• ‘the state of being comfortable, healthy, or happy’ Oxford Dictionary

• ‘life satisfaction, optimism, self esteem, mastery and feeling in control, having a purpose in life, and a sense of belonging and support’ NHS

• ‘Mental wellbeing describes your mental state – how you are feeling and how well you can cope with day-to-day life. Our mental wellbeing can change, from day to day, month to month or year to year’ Mind

Is mental wellbeing an issue?

Academic Achievement – How important is it?

• Effective social and emotional competencies are associated with greater health and wellbeing, and better achievement

What the students love about PE and Wellbeing @ Manor (based on qualitative & quantitative research

conducted January 2016):92% of year 7 and 8 students have said they enjoy taking

part in PE and Wellbeing.Within PE they enjoy linking values (empathy, resilience, integrity) to later life as it makes them think about their

futures.Within Positive Education they enjoy Chimp Management, discussing values in relation to life issues (crime, terrorism, poverty, politics) and in particular ‘Mindfulness Meditation’

(completed at the start of each lesson – Prof Mark Williams).What does the data say? Does it work?

• Have you ever looked at collecting data in your own school to test the research?

• How do you continue to support young people to achieve more academically – more of the same or time for something different?

• Is PE in the driving seat in your school?

So just before you go?
