Wellbeing
Wellbeing Programme is integrated into student life at our school and we have a full-time Wellbeing Supervisor on site. - Daily check-ins are an important part of the pastoral care that we offer. Every morning the teacher will check-in with all children in a dedicated circle time. - We also have a Wellbeing Committee made up of teachers and children which is charged with promoting the wellbeing of the whole school community through specific projects, such as the Box of Worries where children can leave a message, anonymous or not, sharing their concerns or their frustrations. ##### Would you like to know more about our approach?
