Wellbeing Awards for Schools

At Archbishop Courtenay Primary School, we promote positive mental health and emotional wellbeing. Prioritising the wellbeing of children and staff ensures that excellent teaching and learning can take place and that the school is a community where everyone feels able to achieve. We are excited to announce that ABC is aiming to achieve a Wellbeing Award for Schools, administered by Award Place in partnership with the National Children’s Bureau. We are very proud of the efforts of our whole school community and are dedicated to gaining this prestigious award.

About the Wellbeing Award

The Wellbeing Award Framework consists of eight objectives, each of which contains several Key Performance Indicators. The award focuses on ensuring effective practice and provision is in place to promote the emotional wellbeing and mental health of the whole school community. Good provision is already in place across the school and the award will enable us to extend our practice and ensure that wellbeing is embedded in the long-term culture of our school. It will help us to create an ethos where mental health is regarded as the responsibility of all.

With this award, we will demonstrate our commitment to:

• Promoting positive mental health throughout the school curriculum
• Improving the emotional wellbeing of our pupils, staff and the wider school community
• Ensuring mental health needs are identified early and appropriate support is provided
• Offering provision and interventions to match the needs of our pupils, staff and the wider school community
• Challenging the stigma surrounding mental health and increase awareness
