Health Promoting Schools

All schools within the New Learning Community are working towards achieving the status of ‘Health Promoting School’.   This is a Scottish Government Initiative, in relation to the important role that schools play – working with partners and with communities – in health improvement. 

The Scottish Government requires every school in Scotland to be a Health Promoting School.  Glasgow, with close working between Education Services and NHS Greater Glasgow in particular, is on target to meet this requirement.

The national framework for health promoting schools in Scotland,  Being Well – Doing Well (1494KB), was published by the Scottish Health Promoting Schools Unit in February 2004.

Health promoting schools aim to:

• develop and support the physical, social, spiritual, mental and emotional health and well-being of all pupils and staff
• work in partnership with others to identify and meet the health needs of the whole school and the wider community
