Case studies

How are schools using their SHRN data?

Case studies are a useful tool to showcase how schools are using their SHRN data to inform school policies and practices around student health and wellbeing. The short summaries provided below are not an endorsement of best practice but simply examples of the ways in which SHRN data can be applied within a school setting.

Bro Idris

Bro Idris used their SHRN data to explore physical literacy in less active lessons. They identified opportunities to increase physical literacy on a whole school level, including sports clubs, staff training on physical literacy in lessons, and classroom activities in ‘seated’ lessons, and advertising weekend clubs.

Cantonian High School

Cantonian High School used their SHRN data to create resources and design lessons around topics that were identified as concerns for their students, such as vaping, physical activity, sexual health, energy drinks, and mental health and wellbeing support. Well-being lessons were created within the curriculum and lunchtime clubs were set up to support pupils.

Willows High School

Willows High School used their SHRN data to identify areas to prioritize action, such as providing better opportunities for physical activity. The school increased the breadth of sports available to students, created additional opportunities for competitive sport, and sourced more gym equipment. The school also encouraged physical activity within enrichment sessions, allowing students a break from academic study in an attempt to increase motivation and focus.
