WELLBEING was firmly on the timetable at King’s Worcester.
The school marked Mental Health Awareness Week with a series of activities for pupils and staff.
Special assemblies focused on mental health, screens highlighted the importance of the King’s community for wellbeing, connection and sense of belonging. Displays in the senior school library reminded staff and pupils about the wide range of mental health resources provided by the school, as well as by external organisations.
Staff also had the opportunity to take part in a series of activities including yoga, mindfulness, and walks along the river.
Wellbeing is a priority at King’s, not just during Mental Health Awareness Week.
King’s senior school recently unveiled the ‘Bright Room’ – an area designed to provide a safe space for pupils throughout the day, as well as offering mindfulness sessions for pupils.
And a dedicated pupil welfare co-ordinator, foundation mental health lead, and wellbeing governor have recently been appointed.
Acting head Dr Alison Oliver said: “The happiness and wellbeing of our pupils are at the heart of our provision at King’s Worcester. We are proud to create a caring community that focuses on mutual respect, openness and warmth, and allows our pupils to thrive.
“Our fantastic members of staff are committed to offering help, support, and guidance to every member of our community, with pastoral care woven into all that we do.”
