National Enhancement

Please view the two documents below relating to the national enhancement:

• Healthy Schools National Enhancement Model (PDF)
• Healthy Schools Enhancement Model - lines to take with schools (PDF) summary below:

1. The Healthy Schools enhancement model is closely aligned to the well-being indicators, Child Health Strategy and 21st Century Schools. It enables schools to address national and local drivers and links to new policy developments.
2. The National Healthy Schools Programme will be known in the future as Healthy Schools.
   When referring to the new model you should refer to the Healthy Schools enhancement model (HSEM).
3. The Healthy Schools enhancement model will be delivered via 3 phases, and within each phase,
   there are a number of stages that schools should complete. The phases schools will work through
   concentrate on: Phase 1 – Planning our change Phase 2 – Delivering our change Phase 3 – Understanding what has changed
4. The Healthy Schools enhancement model is the start of a new journey, the emphasis is on continual
   development. It will support schools in their provision for the personal learning and development
   needs of children and young people.
5. The enhancement model is designed to enable schools to identify and realise meaningful outcomes
   based on universal and targeted provision and support. Schools determine priorities based on a detailed needs analysis.
6. The Healthy Schools enhancement model should be delivered in line with a school’s existing
   development and school improvement plans. It is not a stand alone model and has been designed
   to be integrated across existing school planning and reporting.
7. To move to the Healthy Schools enhancement model, schools must have achieved National Healthy
   School Status.
8. A set of ‘How To Guides’ and additional support materials are being developed to support schools
   participate in the 8 stages of the Healthy Schools enhancement model.
