CHILD WELLBEING

For children to go on to live life in all its fullness they need more than just excellent academic outcomes. Alongside high expectations for learning, we are committed to providing the very best environment for our children to be happy, confident and well balanced young people, who can identify how they feel, talk openly about it, and develop strategies to manage whatever situations they may face.

We hope that the resources below will provide helpful ideas for parents as you support your children at home.

'Wellbeing Award for Schools'

‘Life in all its fullness’ is a vision we believe strongly in at St John’s. We believe that in order to achieve this, the wellbeing of our pupils, staff and parents is paramount. Last academic year, we are excited to announce that we, as a school team, achieved the ‘Wellbeing Award for Schools’. Working towards this award helped us to identify where changes were needed to further our practice in this area - and we hope the whole school community will benefit! Our school value of joy is such an important one and one that we want to nurture at every opportunity. We strived for this award because we believe so strongly that we should be (and hopefully are!) the kind of school that brings joy to all members of the community. We want to encourage that love of learning, we want to see children achieve excellent academic outcomes but above all, we want our community to live life in all its fullness.
