Wellbeing Work Continues

There is not an awful lot to report since the last newsletter other than our wellbeing work continues to go on behind the scenes, ensuring that our children and staff are happy and safe in school. At BPSP, mental health and wellbeing are always a priority for us. In particular, we endeavour to equip the children with awareness and strategies so they can take some control over this aspect of their lives. This was something recognised by Ofsted: “Pupils understand the importance of looking after both their physical and mental health.”

Pupils have been taking part in a wellbeing questionnaire over the last two weeks. It is important that we listen to what our children have to say so that they feel heard but also, so we can improve our provision even further. I will share the results in the next Headlines.

Wellbeing On The Website

As new and different resources become available, so we upload them to our school website. There is a WELLBEING section under both PARENTS and CHILDREN where there are lots of useful articles, links and videos that may be of some support should you need it.

There are also firm favourites like the happiness calendar where, each month, lots of suggestions for wellbeing activities are set out. These can be a great go-to in any holiday when ideas might run dry. Putting your child in charge of organising a day of wellbeing activities for the family might be a good way to keep them happy and occupied!!

And finally ….

As you may now be aware, at Baden-Powell, we always dedicate the first hour back after any holiday to wellbeing so that the children can settle back into their classes before starting the new half term: both staff and pupils find this really beneficial. We will continue to think about the Zones of Regulation – another way in which we empower our children to think about their own mental health and wellbeing.

Wishing you all a very happy Easter and lots of sunny, fun-filled days.
