School Health Needs Assessment

This year the school will be taking part again in the School Health Needs Assessment (SHNA) process in partnership with the school nurse teams from Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust. This is really helpful for us to better understand and respond to the health needs of children and young people in the school and also offer additional support if needed. As part of the SHNA process, pupils in Year 9 will complete a questionnaire about their health and well-being.

The majority of schools in Lancashire are involved in this and last year over 17,000 children and young people took part! If you would like to know more about this the school nurse will be happy to tell you more.
