Wellbeing

 

We believe that student wellbeing is critical for our students to thrive both in and out of school. We guide our students to be balanced individuals who are fully prepared for the challenges and opportunities of a rapidly changing world.   Our staff team works in partnership with students and parents, and we encourage our students to care for each other in an environment that promotes consideration, cooperation, and kindness.

​

Our aim is to develop students’ wellbeing through supporting the whole child, not only academically, but cognitively, socially, emotionally and physically.

​

Our approach to wellbeing comprises of the following:

​

• The Homeroom Team

• Personal, Social, Health Education

• Physical Education

• Eco-Schools Programme

• Student Representative Council

• Additional Needs Team

• School Nurse
