Wellbeing and Attitudes to Learning: Survey and Strategies was created in partnership with experts from Coventry University and Nottingham Trent University to create an evidence-based approach to help teachers improve their KS2 pupils' wellbeing and attitudes to learning. Research behind the tool Research shows that children with low levels of wellbeing struggle with school-based sources of stress (Scrimin, et al. 2016) and wellbeing is generally related to positive development (Sun, et al. 2016). There is a need to integrate approaches to pupil attainment with attention to pupils' mental health if achievement is to be improved (Allen, et al.)
