Public Health Wales are developing a new set of standards for a whole school approach to health and well-being in schools in Wales. We are now in the final phase of engagement and we would like to hear the views of key partners (including schools) on the proposals. 

The new standards will replace the previous National Quality Award which has been the framework for health and wellbeing in schools since 2009. The newly proposed National Standards for Health and Well-being Promoting Schools in Wales are arranged around the core components of a whole school approach to health and well-being, rather than pre-defined health topics. They offer the chance for schools to identify their own health priorities. They also help schools to practice self-evaluation and action planning to encourage continuous improvement.  

The standards set out a baseline for schools that over time we can reasonably expect all schools to achieve.
