Wellbeing Centre

Wellbeing is at the forefront of our School Ethos of Learning, Respect and Belonging.

As a school, we feel it is essential for all students to learn how to maintain good mental health and wellbeing.

Support in School

Form Tutors

Students see their Form Tutors four times a week so they are well placed for students to discuss any issues they are experiencing.

Community Offices

The pastoral teams in the Community Offices are there to support students with their learning, behaviour and welfare. Staff in these teams have had training on Resilience, Mindfulness and Youth Mental Health First aid.

Wellbeing Rooms

The Wellbeing Room is in G40, located upstairs in G Block. This is a dedicated space for students to go to at lunchtime if they need a quiet area to relax. Staff are on duty every day. Students can access the room with a pass from their Community Office.

Interventions

Homewood run a variety of workshops within school such as Anxiety course, Bereavement workshop, healthy relationships programme, young carers group, academic resilience workshops, calming crafts and Take up the Challenge.

PSHRE

Throughout the academic year the PSHRE team deliver an extensive programme with age appropriate lessons for different year groups. They work closely with the pastoral teams to ensure all relevant mental health and wellbeing subjects are covered during these sessions.
