  9. Impact on NQA “A number of outstanding examples of good practice were included in the evidence portfolio and observed during the visit. These included: First, the engagement of the school in the School Health Research Network and the way in which the data collected, as a result of the research at Alun High School, is being used to inform and shape the existing good practice to strengthen it still further. “ John Griffiths, NQA Verifier

Planning for the future • Larger sample of students completing questionnaire to give more rigorous data • Share more details of the report with parents • Use data within curriculum lessons e.g. Maths • Continue to develop role of the school council • Use new data to continue to develop PSE programme • Use new data to plan future staff development (teachers and support staff)

  14. Feedback from Estyn “A majority of pupils say that they are consulted well on important aspects of school life. Through the school and house councils, pupils take an active role in addressing important areas related to pupils’ wellbeing, for example in producing guidance to address bullying and warning about the dangers of smoking, drugs and alcohol.” “The school’s house system creates a strong sense of belonging for pupils, despite its size. Staff promote healthy lifestyles well, with valuable contributions from pupil groups and from an extensive range of extra-curricular opportunities in sport.”
