Pupil and staff mental health and well-being has been the priority of our school development plan for a couple of years now and we are committed to ensuring we keep up to date with initiatives, ideas and strategies to support every single member of our staff team.
“Working beyond an educational framework has been an incredibly useful process as we have been encouraged to think differently about the health and well-being of all staff in school. We look forward to continuing our work in this area, which given the current climate, is an essential part of our role in school.”
