In recent years, policymakers and practitioners have increasingly focused their attention on the importance of student wellbeing. It goes without saying that recent events have emphasised this as students try to cope with an unprecedented amount of change in the way that they live and learn. This session focuses on evidence collated from research conducted in different countries, to better understand any potential links between wellbeing and academic attainment, as well as other educational outcomes. It has a particular focus on whole-school approaches to promoting wellbeing and explores the factors that contribute towards an effective strategy and implementation.
