Wellbeing Award
Our commitment to mental health and wellbeing
Over the past year, everyone in our school and college community has been working hard to achieve the Wellbeing Award for Schools, which has been developed in partnership with the National Children’s Bureau (NCB). The aim of the award is to ensure schools promote emotional wellbeing and positive mental health across the whole-school community.
In January 2020, all our hard work paid off when we were delighted to be told that we have achieved the award.
Highlights from the report included:
“Wargrave House is fully focused on promoting the EMHWB of all members of the school community. It provides a calm, warm and nurturing environment to help students gain confidence, independence and relevant life skills to meet difficult challenges”.
“I fully recommend that the school achieve the WAS Award. Emotional and Mental Health underpins all the values of the school. The staff model, support, teach, encourage and foster positivity. It is an exciting environment. The whole school community is inspirational.”
(WAS verifier report January 2020)
Our commitment to mental health and wellbeing as a whole school and college approach will continue through our Wellbeing Change Team. This team consists of a cross section of our school and college community and will aim to continue our vision which is to “Effectively Embed a Whole School Approach with Wellbeing and Quality of Life of both staff and students being at the heart of everything we do.”
