Welcome to SHRN

The School Health Research Network (SHRN) is a policy-practice-research partnership between Welsh Government, Public Health Wales, and Cardiff University established in 2013. SHRN aims to improve young people’s health and well-being in Wales by working with schools in both primary and secondary education to generate and use good quality evidence for health improvement. This includes student and school-level surveys, capturing key health and well-being metrics. These metrics are referenced in over 30 national policies and strategies, including the Whole-School Approach to Mental Health and Well-being (2021) and Estyn’s Healthy and Happy Report (2019).

How we improve the health and
well-being of young people

Providing robust health and well-being data to schools and national/regional stakeholders


Bespoke SHRN feedback reports with national benchmarking are provided to schools and local authorities to enable data-driven self-evaluation and action planning.

Enabling joined up action planning, evaluation, and feedback across primary and secondary education


Expansion of SHRN into primary schools means data can inform transition of learners from primary to secondary settings, with validated, age- appropriate measures enabling understanding of how health, well-being and behaviors develop across surveys.
