Time to think

Receiving the Staff Wellbeing Award has had a profound impact on our school community. It reflects the commitment we’ve made to creating an environment where staff feel valued, supported, and able to thrive both personally and professionally.

‘We have loved working in partnership with Optimus Education over the past 2 and a half years. The staff are very friendly and helpful and I always feel they work with the trust to meet our needs.’

‘Greatness comes from those that keep moving forward, figuring out what works and marching relentlessly every day. This is what we believe at CIS and using the Optimus frameworks of the awards has helped us focus forward on improving what we provide for our students, staff and parents.’

You are able to respond in a way to every benchmark in a way that works for your school and staff unlike some other highly prescriptive awards. With a team effort and wellbeing a school priority, you will see an improvement in attendance, attainment and pupils' and parents' wellbeing.

‘We are delighted that the assessment has recognised the journey we have started and what we have achieved so far. Thank you for the opportunity for enriching dialogue, we will continue to refer to this experience as we continue to move forward.'

‘This award will serve as a springboard for our future plans to strengthen and embed the provision we already have in place. Our ability to do all that we can in this area is fully supported by our governing body ensuring that positive emotional wellbeing and mental health remain at the heart of the school.'
