About Wellbeing Measurement for Schools
Wellbeing Measurement for Schools (WMfS) is a comprehensive approach that allows schools to understand areas of strength and challenge for their pupils and staff. The approach is suitable for pupils in the older year groups in primary and all secondary aged pupils.
Developed in partnership with the Evidence Based Practice Unit, this approach builds on many years of experience using questionnaires and surveys to measure and understand children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing in schools and services.
If you work in Early Years, information for measuring wellbeing is available here.
