Well-Being

Promoting physical and mental health

We place great importance on pastoral care at NHP. There is a comprehensive well-being programme which timetables pastoral activities into the school day to safeguard the children’s mental health.

 

We aim to help pupils understand themselves and their emotions, capitalise on their unique talents, keep themselves healthy, make sense of the society in which they live and become a valuable and valued member of their community. We believe that every child has the right to come to school each day feeling safe and happy.

 

We have a dedicated well-being team which includes an in-house school counsellor. Many strategies are promoted to the children to protect their own mental health including mindfulness techniques, drop-in counselling sessions, self-care and mood journals.
