Evaluating a ‘head of wellbeing’ for school health
This year-long trial explored the impact of introducing a health and wellbeing syllabus into a UK secondary school, delivered by a dedicated staff member with the role of ‘Head of Wellbeing’.
The programme reshaped the school environment to promote physical and mental health for students and staff, including:
Healthier in-school meals and access to fresh water
A fully equipped school gym and community events
A syllabus teaching students the fundamentals of a healthy lifestyle
The evaluation provided evidence on how integrated school programmes can improve wellbeing, support healthier habits, and inform scalable interventions in educational settings.
“Sophie will continue to be my first choice for behavioural research and I highly recommend her services.”
