Whole-School SCARF

What is it?

Whole-school SCARF is a comprehensive toolkit to support PSHE leaders and SLTs in ensuring a whole-school approach to children’s mental health and wellbeing.

Why should we use it?

There’s a clear link between children’s mental and physical wellbeing, and their attainment. A whole-school approach to mental wellbeing, involving teachers, pupils and parents/carers working together can impact significantly on pupils’ wellbeing, behaviour and learning. Further evidence of this link is provided by PHE in their publication Promoting children and young people’s emotional health and wellbeing: A whole school and college approach.

What’s in it?

Whole-school SCARF builds on the SCARF values of Safety, Caring Achievement, Resilience and Friendship, with a new, comprehensive and flexible toolkit to help strengthen your school’s approach to children’s and staff’s mental wellbeing. Whether you’re new to SCARF or already using it, this toolkit will help you to ensure that children in your school are safe, mentally well, ready for learning and able to develop the skills needed to grow into caring, respectful citizens who can achieve their full potential.

How do we use it?

We’ve divided the many elements of creating a whole-school approach to wellbeing into four key sections. You can use these as an audit tool or checklist to help you make sure you’re getting the most from your SCARF resources – and to help your school develop an effective whole-school approach to children’s and teachers’ emotional health and wellbeing.
