Evidence included positive feedback from pupils regarding awareness raising assemblies, discussions in tutor time etc and about how, as a result, they feel more confident to express emotions.

Case studies show the positive impact of a range of pastoral interventions on behaviour. Parent feedback also demonstrates the positive effect on pupil confidence and wellbeing of initiatives such as the Pride Room and a range of reasonable adjustments, in particular with children who need support around EBSA.

Adaptive teaching approaches have resulted in significant improvements in children’s behaviour and engagement with learning. Surveys also show an increase in pupil confidence around managing stress and understanding of online safety strategies as a result of curriculum inputs.

Evidence included a case study showing the impact on behaviour of work with Y7 boys on the links between physical activity and emotional regulation. Pupil feedback shows an increase in their understanding of the links between diet and sleep and the ability to manage stress.

Regular surveys show that the majority of pupils know how and where to access support and reminders have been provided to the minority of students who are unsure. In response to pupil feedback, the school has also increased the range of options available for them to report concerns, for example by introducing worry monsters.

Staff report increased confidence following training around supporting pupil wellbeing. Records show that more incidents are being dealt with by class teachers rather than being referred on to pastoral staff.

The evidence included positive feedback from parents about support available to them both individually and via a range of sessions on bedtime routines, managing anxiety etc. A case study demonstrated how the school assists parents to access additional external support.

Evidence demonstrated the positive impact of the wellbeing warrior programme on their own and other children’s wellbeing and also included positive feedback from both children and staff regarding lunchtime playleaders.
