Pupil Well-being
The well-being of our pupils is crucial to both their personal and academic development.
If pupils have a worry or concern they can:
- Put a note in the class worry box
- Speak to their class teacher or teaching assistant
- Speak to any member of the Senior Leadership Team
- Speak to a midday assistant
- Book a Time2talk session
Pupils have explored and are encourage to think about the 5 Ways to Well-being.
