Public Health Wales is pleased to announce the launch of the second curriculum toolkit in its Health and Wellbeing Curriculum Project: ‘Health-Promoting Behaviour – Focus on Food and Nutrition’.
This project, led by the Educational Settings team, brings together professionals from both the health and education sectors to co-develop curriculum toolkits and resources. These are designed to support schools in delivering key health and well-being themes as part of the new Health and Wellbeing Area of Learning and Experience.
SHRN has played a key role in the development of the curriculum toolkits by providing robust, school-level health and well-being data. This evidence base ensures that the content is grounded in the real experiences and needs of learners across Wales. SHRN’s research findings, including insights into key health behaviours and emerging trends among young people, have directly informed the design of practical classroom resources—such as those featured in the food and nutrition toolkit.
The toolkits are grounded in the principles of curriculum design and focus on what matters most to and for learners. They highlight essential knowledge, skills, and values, and offer opportunities for transferable learning across themes and other Areas of Learning and Experience.
You can now download the second toolkit, which includes:
- Practical guidance for teachers
- Knowledge banks
- Adaptable classroom activities focused on food and nutrition
These resources are suitable for use across a range of school settings and are designed to support the development of a locally relevant curriculum.
