Boarding Schools Training

Good quality adequate sleep is vitally important for children and young people to meet their full potential and our approach to improving sleep issues for pupils, positively impacts on their overall mental health and wellbeing.

Improving sleep patterns for young people can have many benefits including:

• Supporting mental health and emotional wellbeing
• Improved sporting performances
• Reduced lateness and improved attendance
• Increased attainment, concentration, memory and attention to detail improve

Specialist, evidence-based training is provided to staff to equip them with the knowledge to support the community to sleep well and a toolkit includes materials to share with students, staff and parents. You will use the toolkit of materials to evaluate current practices, identify areas to develop and work towards these building a healthier boarding community for all.

Schools that complete the programme will be awarded the Boarding School ‘Sleep Friendly School’ accreditation mark.

You will be able to promote your accreditation mark for 12 months. Re-accreditation will be required by attending a refresher course online, re-submission of evidence and renewing your membership after the 12 month period.
