Background: Schools play an important role in promoting child mental health, but little is known about the approaches they undertake. Methods: A scoping survey in England, involving 599 primary and 137 secondary schools. Results: Although two thirds of school approaches focused on all pupils, these were predominantly reactive, rather than preventive interventions. They were also largely not evidence-based, were instead based on a plan while open to adaptation. Gaps were identified in teacher training and support. Conclusions: The findings have implications on the use of preventive versus reactive approaches, staff training and consultation, use of evidence-based practice in schools and joint care pathways.
