Health & Well-being Promoting Schools Programme

Ysgol Llannon school implements the National Health & Well-being Promoting Schools Programme and

is dedicated to fostering an environment that supports the physical, emotional & social well-being of all learners, staff, and families. Our approach prioritises healthy habits, emotional resilience, and positive relationships as essential parts of education.

Our Commitment

  • Healthy Eating & Drinking: We educate our learners about balanced food choices and promote healthy eating and drinking habits.
  • Physical Activity: Through engaging PE lessons, active breaks, and extracurricular sports clubs, we encourage regular physical activity to support overall well-being.
  • Emotional Support: We offer access to counselling, intervention programmes, and resources to help learners understand and manage their emotions.
  • Inclusive Community: Our school fosters a culture of respect, inclusivity, and kindness, creating a safe and welcoming environment for everyone.
  • Health Education: Learners receive education & guidance on essential topics such as personal hygiene, safety, healthy relationships,  substances and making informed life choices.

The 7 Health Topics

The Health & Well-being Promoting Schools Programme focuses on seven key areas:

  1. Food & Fitness
  2. Safety
  3. Substance Use & Misuse
  4. Personal Development & Relationships
  5. Hygiene
  6. Environment
  7. Mental & Emotional Health & Well-being

With the support of both staff and parents, we aim to instil positive attitudes in learners towards adopting healthy lifestyles across all these areas. Together, we can nurture children to grow into healthy, fit, and happy adults.

Parental Involvement and Resources

To help families support this journey, we share useful information and resources on each of the seven health topics on our school website: https://www.llannon.ysgolccc.cymru/en_GB/wellbeing/ These are available for you to access as needed.

If you have expertise or a specialisation in any of the seven areas and would like to contribute to enhancing our curriculum, extracurricular activities, or school environment, we would love to hear from you. Please contact Mr Harri Edwards – admin@llannon.ysgolccc.cymru

The school is committed to encouraging a healthy lifestyle and follows the guidelines of Carmarthenshire Healthy Schools. The school emphasises looking after our health by encouraging fruit snacks at break times, water in pupils’ drink bottles and healthy lunch boxes. The Healthy School Committee members also sell fruit at break times and this also helps pupils become more numerate. This year, members have advised on keeping safe in the sun- Slip, Slap, Slop, studied the Healthy Plate, and set up a Sports Council. Also they were trained as Buddies for yard time duties. The buddies help find friends for all at break times. This helps develop their communication skills.

SAFETY OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL GATES

The healthy schools council have shown concern about the fact that people park on the yellow lines outside the school gates. They have decided to create a poster to remind people that parking on the yellow lines is unacceptable and poses a risk to the safety of our pupils.
