This qualitative study will explore the use and effectiveness of nature-based wellbeing interventionswithin urban and rural primary schools in England, exploring the perspectives and experiences ofteachers and pupils.Despite clear evidence that nature exposure has wellbeing benefits (e.g. Ulrich 1991), and thewidespread use of nature-based wellbeing interventions away from school e.g. in dementia care (NaturalEngland 2016), evidence is lacking around their use in schools.With increasing incidence of child mental illness and demand on mental health services at a time of cuts,low levels of pupil wellbeing, increasing recognition that schools have a role in child wellbeing andmental health (IPPR 2016) and difficulties in engaging pupils in existing wellbeing support (DfE 2017),further research is needed to identify effective interventions. 7.7% of primary pupils have a diagnosedmental health issue, with many others at risk (Layard 2011), making the primary context highly relevant.With conflicting evidence around children's nature exposure in urban areas, for example, Moss describesnature as more difficult to access in urban areas (2012), while Lin et al. state that exposure is morerelevant to having interest in nature, rather than its proximity (Lin et al. 2014), there is a need to studythis nature-based wellbeing interventions across rural and urban primary schools.This study will therefore add to existing literature by determining the use and effectiveness, andtherefore the feasibility, of nature-based wellbeing interventions to effectively prevent and treat poorchild wellbeing and mental health in urban and rural primary schools.

这项定性研究将探讨在英格兰城市和农村小学中基于自然的健康干预的使用和有效性，探索教师和学生的观点和经验。（例如Ulrich 1991），以及在学校以外广泛使用基于自然的健康干预措施，例如痴呆症护理（NaturalEngland 2016），缺乏在学校使用它们的证据。随着儿童精神疾病发病率的增加和削减时对精神卫生服务的需求，学生的健康水平低，越来越多的人认识到学校在儿童福利和心理健康方面的作用（IPPR 2016）和在现有的福利支持（DfE 2017）吸引学生的困难，需要进一步的研究，以确定有效的干预措施。7.7%的小学生被诊断出有心理健康问题，其他许多人面临风险（Layard 2011），使主要背景高度相关。例如，关于城市地区儿童接触自然的证据相互矛盾，Moss将大自然描述为在城市地区更难以接近（2012），而Lin等人。而不是它的邻近（Lin et al. 2014），有必要研究这种基于自然的健康干预措施在农村和城市小学。因此，这项研究将通过确定使用和有效性，从而增加现有文献的可行性，在城市和农村小学开展基于自然的福祉干预措施，以有效预防和治疗贫困儿童的福祉和心理健康问题。
