Well Check

Understand your current approach to wellbeing and identify clear priorities for improvement.

The Well Check is a free, self-led tool designed to help schools reflect on their whole-school approach to wellbeing and create a practical starting point for action.

As a school, you will:

  • Complete a structured self-review of your wellbeing approach
  • Receive a tailored Well Schools action plan highlighting strengths and areas for development
  • Access guidance, tools and resources to support early improvement
  • Explore content from trusted partners aligned to your priorities.

The Well Check helps you understand where you are and what to focus on next.

Join us for a practical, informative webinar designed specifically for schools and trusts that have completed the Well Check and are ready to take the next step toward becoming a fully accredited Well School.

This session will guide you through what accreditation involves, why it matters and how it can help strengthen your whole‑school wellbeing strategy. We will walk through the accreditation framework, outline the evidence you’ll need and share examples of effective practice from schools already on the journey. You’ll also gain a clear understanding of the support available from the Youth Sport Trust, including tools, resources and expert guidance to help you progress with confidence.

Whether you’re looking to deepen your wellbeing-focused culture, demonstrate impact to stakeholders or create a more consistent approach across your school or trust, this webinar will provide clarity, inspiration and actionable next steps.
