  1. South West Healthy Schools Plus Schools Presentation

  2. What is South West Healthy Schools Plus?

  3. South West Healthy School Plus South West Healthy Schools Plus builds on the National Healthy Schools Standard It focuses on bringing about Healthy Behaviours It aims to tackle the most pressing problems preventing children and young people from fulfilling their potential

  4. Background – why the South West Schools in the South West have been very successful in the National Healthy Schools Programme (NHSP) Over 75% have gained National Healthy School Status (NHSS) and over 99% are participating

  5. Background – why the South West • Having put in place robust structures, a school that has NHSS is now able to tackle key issues that face children and young people • Local areas now are better informed as to what the chief issues are. These need to be addressed to allow children and young people to achieve.

  6. Background – why the South West Healthy Schools Plus, by focusing on health behaviours, hopes to remove the barriers that prevent pupils from succeeding in schools. A school working on the programme will be meeting clearly identified needs in response to the Every Child Matters agenda.

  7. So what is Healthy Schools Plus? Key elements • Meet local priorities • Meet school priorities • Focus on priority groups • Clear aim - to deliver measurable improvements for children and young people

  8. Move to outcome based measures Your school will need to use the Healthy Behaviour Outcome Process • Needs analysis • Baseline measurement • Target setting • Evidence based/good practice intervention • Building results into continual improvement cycle

  9. Needs Analysis • You will work on issues that have been identified for the local area or the catchment area of the school. • You will also work with specific groups of children and young people who have higher needs than others, for example, Children in Care.

  10. Baseline Measurement • In order to clarify whether we have improved healthy behaviours we have to understand what the behaviours are before we do anything! • This is what is referred to as ‘baseline measurement’. It gives a school a starting point from which to judge whether it has been successful.

  11. Target Setting • A school that wishes to improve its examination results sets a target. A school that wishes to improve healthy behaviours likewise has to set a target. • Such targets should help your school see whether it is working effectively. Unlike examination results you will not be ‘league-tabled’ as a result of this process.

  12. Evidence based / good practice • You will then be encouraged to adopt approaches that have an evidence base proving that they are successful. • The local programme will help you either find these or put you in touch with partners who will help you.

  13. Continual improvement cycle At the end of the intervention, which is a term which simply describes the work you have done, the key point is to celebrate success and ensure that the lessons learned are built upon.

  14. So what might South West Healthy Schools Plus Look like? • Your school will have to have National Healthy School Status and reaffirm that you meet the 41 criteria

  15. Your School will need to be taking part in national programmes Such as: Child Weight Management Programme

  16. 3. You will be asked to choose which outcomes to work on from three areas Area One Local Priorities Area Two School Priorities Area Three Priority Groups

  17. 3. You will be asked to choose which outcomes to work on from three areas Area One – Local Priorities Drawn from Local Area Agreement Priorities Could include areas such as childhood obesity, emotional health and wellbeing, sexual health and teenage pregnancy, and drug and alcohol misuse

  18. Area Two - School Priorities Identified from local data or SWPHO Mapping Tool May overlap with Local Priorities but could be more specific:- For example – bullying in specific years/areas of school, school meal uptake, physical activity, safety, drug and alcohol issues

  19. Whilst your school will be able to choose which route to follow, the choice and targets you will draw up will be presented to the Local Programme for them to agree

  20. Area Three – Priority Groups This area is focused on improving healthy behaviours of specific groups For example, Children and Young People who are: Children in Care; Travellers; Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual or Transgender; Have Mental Health Issues; Obese; Children with Special Needs.

  21. What Might This Look Like In your School? There are two possible ways a school can move forward Example 1 – The mixed economy Example 2 – Focused activity

  22. The Mixed Economy This is where a school picks different topics from the three Areas For example Area 1 Teenage Pregnancy - SRE Area 2 Supporting Active Travel Area 3 Children In Care Each is chosen due to needs analysis. Each equally valued

  23. Focused Activity This is where a school picks same topic from the three areas For example Area 1 Obesity (Active travel, Increase Physical Activity, Increase School lunches etc) Area 2 Addressing dining hall issues Area 3 Focusing on specific work with overweight and obese More in depth work would be expected

  24. Department for Children, Schools and Families 2008 Children’s Plan Overriding aim for next ten years is to deliver measurable improvements for all children and young people

  25. Improving healthy behaviours of Children and Young People could include increasing numbers • Eating healthily • Walking/cycling to school • Adoption of sun safety measures • Improved awareness of sexual health issues • Decrease in substance use/misuse • Improved mental health/resilience

  26. Importance of Whole School Approach South West Healthy Schools Plus will still need to use the Whole School Approach in order to deliver measurable improvements for all children and young people
