Wellbeing

We believe that emotional wellbeing and mental health is everybody’s business – and at the very heart of our purpose, culture and ethos. The Optimus award standard provides us with a best practice benchmark – to show how far we’ve already come, and to ensure we’re always being the best we can be!

 

The Optimus Wellbeing Award for Schools promotes emotional wellbeing and positive mental health across the whole-school community – students, families and staff.

Student Wellbeing

 

Our core values to care, nurture and inspire underpin our purpose – ensuring every child we work with achieves their full potential, both academically and personally. We do this by focusing on personal access, positive identity, and cultural and social awareness.

 

We measure student wellbeing via the Good Childhood Index, which provides valuable feedback and an insight into how our students are feeling – it covers the main aspects of children’s lives, including those identified by the young people themselves.

How we can help

 

One of our biggest strengths is our team of inspirational employees who strive daily to “transform the life chances of young people, families and our communities”.

 

Our staff can best support our students and their families when they are feeling supported themselves – so we’ve developed an Employee Wellbeing and Benefits programme to help staff personally, professionally and financially, to ensure our organisation is a healthy and enjoyable place to work.

 

Benefits include: supportive supervision with an external coach, access to free Mental Health and Wellbeing support,  ‘Wellbeing Wednesdays’, Wellbeing Champions and ‘Secret Buddies’.
