The Isle of Arran consists of 7 primary schools and 1 high school on the West Coast of Scotland and is part of North Ayrshire Local Authority. The group of schools created a Health and Wellbeing strategy bringing together the different groups working on the island to form a cohesive, progressive and sustainable approach to promoting and supporting positive health and wellbeing on for the island population.
The strategy included upskilling of staff, parents and students in different areas of health and wellbeing, hosting free to attend certificated courses on mental health, suicide prevention and first aid, and working closely with the island’s Health and Social Care Partnership and the locality partnership.
