School Council

Pupil Wellbeing

Pupils are actively encouraged to speak about any concerns they have to a member of staff or to our nurture team. There are other ways that the children can share their worries and concerns through worry boxes, nurture team and school council.

Our Approach

• Pupil voice – pupils are actively encouraged to speak about any concerns they have to a member of staff or to our nurture team. There are other ways that the children can share their worries and concerns through Worry boxes, nurture team, school council.
• STARS values –  In all that we do and every decision we make, we use our values to guide us: Sharing, Trust, Achievement, Respect, Safety.
• Curriculum and enrichment - Our curriculum, assemblies and educational trips give opportunities for the children to learn how to look after their own safety and wellbeing and to help others to stay safe.  
• Pastoral support – We have a Pastoral Team who use the programme Motional, to identify needs and respond to adverse events in the lives of our children.
• Forest school – Our forest school area is used within nurture – we understand the use of outdoor space is important for the children's emotional wellbeing.
• Staff training – Pupils know the staff take all their concerns very seriously. Staff have attended training in areas such as mental health and wellbeing, mindfulness, online safety and attachment.
