Subject: Strengthening Student Wellbeing – My Health My School Survey

Dear DSL Leads,

I appreciate your time and engagement in my recent presentation introducing the My Health
My School - School Health & Wellbeing Survey. Your role in safeguarding and supporting
Pupils’ wellbeing is invaluable, and this survey is a vital tool in deepening our collective
understanding of student needs.

Commissioned by the RBWM Public Health Team, this free survey is available to all primary
and secondary schools across the Borough. By participating, your school will help shape
evidence-based improvements that benefit pupils, schools and the wider community.

Why This Survey Matters
Gaining meaningful insight into students’ challenges and experiences is essential for effective planning and wellbeing strategies.

The survey:

• Provides valuable data to inform PSHE planning and wider school policies.
• Aligns with Ofsted priorities on pupil wellbeing.
• Helps address common misconceptions around student behaviour (e.g., vaping trends).
• It is free and easy to complete, with supporting materials provided.
• Benefits for Your School
• Access to local insights tailored to your setting.
• Resources to help integrate findings into PSHE and whole-school planning.
• Support through online meetings to help school leaders understand and implement the data effectively.

Your support will be instrumental in driving participation across the Borough, ensuring that students' voices are heard and that schools can make informed, data-driven decisions.
Widespread participation strengthens the survey’s impact, leading to meaningful change for
Pupils and schools alike.
