Year 8 Health and Wellbeing Survey
Information for parents/carers of year 8 students about the student health and wellbeing survey
You should have received a letter from your child regarding a health and wellbeing survey that we would like your child to have an opportunity to participate in. Our school is a member of the Schools Health and Wellbeing Research Network. We are working with a group of researchers from the London Institute of Education to develop the best way for our school to carry out an annual online survey with groups of students about their health and wellbeing.
From the survey we will be better informed to work with you to help to improve students’ health, both through the topics we cover in lessons and the support offered via Student Services. We are therefore asking students in year 8 to complete the online questionnaire during a lesson in the coming weeks. Students will be given information about the survey and why we think it is important for everyone to take part. The survey will cover topics such as exercise, diet, bullying and smoking.
You can see a copy of the letter your child was given and a paper version of the questionnaire by clicking on the two links below.

We hope you are happy for your child to participate. If you ARE happy, you need take no further action. If you or your child has questions or concerns about participating in the survey, please contact Ms Baldwin via email ([email protected]) or telephone (020 8360 3158) before 14th October 2014.
Ms Baldwin
Deputy Headteacher
