School goals and ambitions
Our aim is to nurture the overall wellbeing of our pupils, encompassing their academic, emotional, and social development. We want to ensure our pupils flourish during their time at Griffin House as a result of good emotional wellbeing and mental health. We believe wellbeing is of central importance to the learning and attainment of our pupils and want to instil this at the culture and ethos of our school, so that pupils, with the support of their teachers, can build confidence and flourish.
We want our pupils to recognise strategies they could use to support both their own wellbeing or to help friends who are upset or worried. We want them to be confident about where and how to get help.

School goals and ambitions
Staff wellbeing is vital for several reasons: it boosts performance and productivity by helping staff stay engaged and focused, fosters a positive work environment that builds trust and communication, and reduces absenteeism by lowering stress and burnout. It also enhances creativity and positively impacts the children by creating a more effective learning environment. The staff well-being journey is not just about addressing immediate concerns; it’s about creating a culture of care that benefits both the organisation and its employees in the long run. In investing in well-being and doing this award will help to continue to build a healthier, happier, and more productive school.

We are committed to supporting staff wellbeing. A Staff Wellbeing Team has been introduced to drive positive change. TAs and support staff attend regular meetings to share good practice. We’ve introduced Kapow and Quest to reduce planning and workload, along with a clear email protocol and reviewed marking policy. A formal Staff Wellbeing Policy is now in place. Staff duties have been reviewed for fairness, and a flexi-time agreement allows time off for family events. We’ve also adjusted the school calendar to ease pressure during busy periods.
