Wellbeing Award!

We are delighted to inform you that Stow Heath Primary School has maintained the Wellbeing Award!

Here are some quotes from the award report.

‘A significant strength of Stow Heath Primary School is the strategic and evidence-informed approach to wellbeing leadership’.

‘The evidence clearly demonstrated a strategic and sustained commitment to promoting mental health and wellbeing across the whole school community’.

‘Provision is responsive to the needs of the community. The evidence portfolio clearly demonstrated a culture of review, reflection and action’.

‘The school environment was calm, purposeful and nurturing throughout the visit. Pupils were engaged in learning and demonstrated positive relationships with staff and one another. A strong culture of emotional regulation was evident across the school’.

‘The school's inclusive ethos is highly evident through the quality of provision available for vulnerable pupils’.

‘Strong relationships across the school community underpin all aspects of wellbeing provision, with pupils, parents and staff’.

‘The breadth of curriculum enrichment, family engagement opportunities and community partnerships further enhances the school's holistic approach to wellbeing’.

‘The impact of the school's wellbeing strategy is clearly visible across the school community. Pupils demonstrate a strong awareness of mental health and wellbeing, can identify support mechanisms and report feeling safe, valued and listened to’.

‘Findings indicate that the school's whole-school approach is having a positive influence on the lived experiences of stakeholders’.

What are our next steps:

·       consider developing a clearly defined graduated approach to mental health and wellbeing that outlines universal, targeted and specialist provision. This could include a comprehensive provision map, clearly defined staff roles and responsibilities, and a transparent referral pathway to support consistency and understanding across the school community. Sharing this information with stakeholders in accessible language, and where appropriate through translated materials, would further strengthen awareness and accessibility of support.

We will update you on how we are progressing next academic year.

Thank you for your continued support 😊
