Focus on wellbeing 2025
We believe that education extends beyond the classroom and that nurturing the social, emotional, physical and practical wellbeing of our students is just as important as academic success.
This term, we were delighted to continue our ‘Focus on Wellbeing’ initiative with a series of enrichment activities designed to support the holistic development of our Senior School students. Spanning several days, the programme offered a wide range of experiences aimed at promoting creativity, collaboration, physical activity and personal growth.
The first activity saw our Year 7 students take part in a collaborative art session, during which they each created a positive speech bubble filled with uplifting words and encouragement. These individual designs will be brought together to form our new Wall of Positivity, to be proudly displayed at the start of the next academic year.
Year 8 and 9 students enjoyed the wellbeing benefits of nature through an off-site visit to Clifton Country Park, where they took part in a meadow collage-making, balsam bashing to support the local ecosystem, and Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award taster sessions. The day offered the perfect blend of environmental awareness, teamwork and outdoor learning.
Other highlights for all year groups included our annual Sports Day and 5K charity run in support of St Ann’s Hospice, raising awareness and funds for this important local organisation.
To celebrate their efforts and achievements, students also enjoyed a well-earned treat with a rewards trip to Alton Towers, rounding off the programme with excitement and shared memories.
Throughout ‘Focus on Wellbeing’ students across the Senior School embraced each opportunity with enthusiasm and positivity. We are incredibly proud of their engagement and look forward to building on these experiences in future school years.
