Wellbeing

In-school support for students

Wellbeing put simply is about being healthy and happy; it’s about developing as a person, feeling fulfilled and contributing to the community. At Nether Stowe, we are committed to promoting the importance of looking after our wellbeing and have a Mental Health and Wellbeing Lead at school who oversees a range of initiatives to support our students.

For students we:

Run small group wellbeing intervention sessions to support students struggling emotionally
Provide 121 support sessions for students
Hold drop-in wellbeing sessions at lunchtime for students throughout the week
Offer specific exam stress support sessions at lunchtimes
Allocate counselling and mentor sessions for students who require more intensive support
Run a mental health peer mentoring programme – research suggests that young people feel more comfortable talking to their peers
Deliver assemblies at least once every term with a mental health focus
Organise form time activities every week with a mental health focus
Incorporate mental health sessions into our PSHE programme
Organise events throughout the year to promote the importance of wellbeing – World Mental Health Day, Time to Change Day, Mental Health Awareness Week
Hold lunchtime events like ‘Curry and Chat’ and ‘Cake with Me’ every half term to encourage students and staff to sit, eat and chat together
Run the ‘Eco Warrior’ project where students have the opportunity to get outdoors and work with nature on the school allotment

The Arthur Terry Learning Partnership is committed to keeping our students safe, both in school and the wider community. As part of our safeguarding arrangements, we have a two-way information sharing agreement in place with the local police authority. The agreement is compliant with Crime & Disorder Act 1998 (s.115) and Data Protection Act 1998(s.29.3; s.35.2.), and focuses on preventing young people from becoming involved or further involved in crime and anti-social behaviour as a victim or offender.

If you have any queries about the partnership policy, please contact Mrs S Bailey, ATLP Safeguarding Lead.
