Health and Wellbeing

We want all children and young people to be able to learn about health and wellbeing to ensure they acquire skills to live healthy, happy lives.

Health and wellbeing isn't a single subject or class, but is organised into six areas:

• mental, emotional, social and physical wellbeing  Read about Zones of Regulation. (PDF, 131 KB)(opens new window)
• planning for choices and changes
• physical education
• physical activity and sport
• food and health Read about our healthy snack policy at Parkhead Primary School. (PDF, 92 KB)(opens new window)
• substance misuse
• relationships, sexual health and parenthood Read about how RSHP is taught at Parkhead Primary School. (PDF, 1 MB)(opens new window)

Health and wellbeing is also about ensuring that pupils are able to make the most of their educational opportunities regardless of their background or financial circumstances and through promotion of attendance at school.

Have a look at some of our videos below to see how we deliver health and wellbeing at Parkhead Primary School. 

Time To Talk Event 2025

It was a pleasure to welcome parents and carers to our school on February 6th for our 'Time to Talk' event. We hope you found the event informative and learned more about mental health and the comprehensive support we offer our pupils. Documents that were shared at the event can be found using the links below.

Shale Trail and John Muir

Our amazing John Muir Group got to work alongside the organisers of the Shale Trail. Our pupils, together with pupils from other schools in the area, made history come to life. The Shale Trail is a path that runs through West Lothian showcasing the rich history of the area and we are delighted that our pupils got to be part of creating spaces that can be enjoyed for many generations to come.
