Health and Wellbeing
Our Health and Wellbeing strategy exemplifies our commitment to ensuring a rich, supportive school culture which allows all members of our learning community to flourish. It is based on three priorities. These being:
- Improving Physical Well being through the promotion of healthy choices
- Promoting Positive Mental Health
- Understanding and developing healthy relationships.
Through our ethos and values, the curriculum, extra-curricular activities and workshops we instil resilience, in order for all members of our school community to be mentally healthy.
