Abstract
The number of children and young people with MH needs has increased (NHS Digital, 2020) with existing literature (Kumar and Nayar, 2021; Kwong et al., 2021; WHO, 2020) suggesting the COVID-19 pandemic may have additionally negatively impacted wellbeing for some. Health and educational policies (Parkin, 2021; DfE, 2018) have increasingly focused on wellbeing; placing emphasis on the role of protective factors within the school climate to facilitate wellbeing and buffer against adversity. Existing literature reflects an often polarised view of the impact of nature and technology on wellbeing, whilst limited research explore these concepts together and from multiple perspectives. This study aimed to address the gap in the literature and build on existing research by exploring the perceptions of pupils, parents and staff (from one primary school setting) regarding the extent to which nature and technology can facilitate positive wellbeing.
