Wellbeing
Learning in health and wellbeing ensures that children and young people develop the knowledge and understanding, skills, capabilities and attributes which they need for mental, emotional, social and physical wellbeing now and in the future.
It is essential to take a holistic approach to promoting health and wellbeing, considering the stage of growth, development
and maturity of each individual, and the social and community context.
Children and young people should expect their learning environment to support them to:
- develop their self-awareness, self-worth and respect for others.
- meet challenges, manage change and build relationships.
- experience personal achievement and build resilience and confidence.
Cycle of Wellbeing
The ‘Cycle of Wellbeing’ draws together a wide range of national guidance and resources published to support the wellbeing of staff and children and young people.

Glasgow Motivation and Wellbeing Profile
The Glasgow Motivation and Wellbeing Profile (GMWP) is a 20 item questionnaire that explores motivation and sense of wellbeing in the learning context.
It elicits children and young people’s views of themselves and their emotions; it gives them an opportunity to reflect on their feelings and current experiences and encourages them to consider how they can increase their own determination, motivation and sense of wellbeing.
