At the heart of our wellbeing provision are our Health and Wellbeing Team. The Heads of Health Centre, Wellbeing, Learning Support, Counselling, Chaplain, Safeguarding and PSHEE work closely with pastoral and academic staff within the Houses to respond reactively as well as proactively through education in supporting our young people through any physical or emotional challenges they may face. Our wellbeing team is committed to ensuring pupils are equipped with a toolkit of coping strategies to help build their resilience, enabling them to navigate the everyday stresses of school life and beyond. This is delivered through one-to-one sessions whether scheduled or drop in, providing a safe space for pupils to share and reflect. We coach pupils to set goals and plans on how they can manage their own wellbeing with guidance and support from the team. In addition, the team works closely with the PSHEE department to plan and implement whole year group education on salient societal issues, giving them the skills to question, reflect and challenge key issues that are affecting young people today.
