School goals and ambitions
Persistently low wellbeing adds to the array of challenges that young people face. There are alarming rates of absenteeism following the pandemic, entrenched behaviour, lack of drive, apathy and a lack of resilience. The award will provide a platform to support students with their emotional health and wellbeing so that they feel that they belong in school resulting in students feeling happier at school. Overall impact would be evidenced in attendance meeting national average, a reduction in NEETS with 100% of Year 11 accessing post 16 education/vocational/employment and showing sustainability along with outcomes at the end of Year 11 showing positive measures. The cultural change is crucial

The award has enabled us to audit areas for physical activity, emotional health and wellbeing. We introduced a new positive discipline behaviour strategy built around rewards, wellbeing and relationships to strengthen our work around staff and student culture. The impact of driving this area has led to a visible shift in culture that is under pinned by our culture of care for every student and adult in the organisation. There has been a notable correlation between wellbeing, attainment and wellbeing, for which we have seen Year 11 manage their stressors with success. We have effective safeguarding procedures and policies which has been strengthened to support students and families.
