Abstract

Presents data from a 1995 self‐completion questionnaire survey of secondary schools in Wales on the organization and provision of health education teaching, the implementation of health‐related policies and the involvement of outside agencies in the planning and delivery of health promotion. The results from the 187 responding schools (82 per cent) show that a firm base exists for further developing health‐promoting secondary schools in Wales. Recommends that health education co‐ordinators devote preparation time to promote best practice in the subject and that schools put more effort into developing broadly based policies for health covering all those who use school premises. Advocates the structured integration of community resources into school programmes and improved understanding within schools of the concept of the health‐promoting school.
