In the last decade, robust longitudinal research has shown that school-aged children’s wellbeing in the UK declines. This already observed declining trend has been amplified by the COVID-19 that brought tremendous changes to young people’s daily lives. Thus, it is our belief that teachers, school leaders, and professionals working with/in the education sector need to be aware of how to foster wellbeing in schools. The existing evidence on what works in improving students’ wellbeing in schools can be considered too complex. Therefore, we decided to write this blogpost to provide some evidence-based tips by consulting syntheses of the literature on wellbeing interventions.
