Emotional Support and Pupil Wellbeing
All staff are available to support any pupil who wishes to discuss a worry, share a concern, or needs emotional reassurance during the school day. Creating a culture of openness and trust is at the heart of our pastoral care.
We have a dedicated medical room that is accessible to all pupils and a designated First Aid Lead who is responsible for responding quickly to any health needs during the school day. This includes administering first aid and providing a holistic assessment and treatment of any illnesses that may arise.
Pupils with long-term medical needs are supported through individual care plans and regular check-ins to ensure their school experience is not disrupted by illness. All teaching staff are trained in first aid, helping us to maintain a safe and responsive environment for all children.
Online Safety and Digital Wellbeing
Be SMART – Think Before You Click!
Technology is integral to modern life, and internet access is part of our daily routine at school, home, and work. The online world offers children endless opportunities to learn, explore, connect, and create – but it also comes with risks. Helping pupils and families understand how to reduce and manage these risks is essential to making the most of digital life.
At the core of our e-safety curriculum is teaching children how to recognise unsafe situations online and where to seek help when something doesn’t feel right. Just as we teach children how to cross the road safely rather than avoid it altogether, we teach them how to navigate the internet with awareness and confidence.
We are committed to supporting pupils in developing their own sense of digital wellbeing – understanding how their online choices, screen time, and interactions with others can impact their mental and emotional health.
We are proud to be part of Childnet’s Digital Leaders training programme. Each year, selected pupils are appointed as Digital Leaders and given the opportunity to lead by example, educating their peers about how to stay safe and positive online.
Parents and carers are key partners in supporting children’s understanding of online safety. They are often the first people children turn to if something goes wrong. We know it can be difficult to stay informed as technology evolves rapidly, so we provide access to trusted resources and advice to help families feel confident in supporting their child’s digital journey.
