Health promoting schools: learning from the European project

Abstract

Reports on the evaluation of the European Network of Health Promoting Schools project in England, which concluded in March 1997. The Europe‐wide initiative aims to develop schools as settings for the promotion of young people’s health, encouraging innovative approaches and opportunities for pan‐European working. In England the project has been managed by the Health Education Authority, which commissioned an independent research agency, the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER), to carry out the evaluation. Reports on the NFER’s evaluation of the impact of a co‐ordinated whole school approach to health education in 16 pilot and 32 reference schools. Presents highlights from the Final Research Report and accompanying Management Summary, including a case history of health promotion work carried out by special schools which took part in the project.
