The World Health Organisation defines wellbeing as: ‘a state of mind in which an individual is able to realise his or her own abilities, cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.’
Here at Eaton Park Academy, we value the health and well-being of our whole school community (children, staff, parents and carers) and recognise how important mental health and emotional wellbeing is in addition to physical health. As a school, we recognise that children’s mental health is a crucial factor in their overall wellbeing and can affect their learning and achievement and when developing the individual, we want to create resilient children who are able to cope, adapt and thrive in the ever-changing world around them.
At Eaton Park, we continuously promote emotional health and mental wellbeing through the following:
As an academy and as part of Alpha Academies Trust, we have a wellbeing strategy, which sets out how we develop positive mental health and wellbeing for all. Our strategy reflects the voices of all stakeholders through surveys and discussions to ensure it captures and reflects needs and supports all.
We are very excited to announce that we have achieved the Well-being Award for Schools, administered by Award Place, in partnership with the National Children’s Bureau.
We signed up to achieve this award to further develop our work to promote positive well-being and mental health for the whole school community and gain accreditation for the work we have already done. It also tied in with our school strategy to help our pupils become caring, active citizens and achieve excellence.
On November 10th 2021, we were assessed against the well-being objectives and our practice was validated, securing the Wellbeing Award Status. See our fantastic report here: Well-being verification report – EPA
There are eight objectives to achieve within the Well-being Award Framework, containing several Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) set out within each. The award focuses on ensuring effective practice and provision is in place that promotes the emotional well-being and mental health of both staff and pupils.
The award enabled us to develop these practices and helped us to ensure that well-being was embedded in the long-term culture of our school. It helped us to create an ethos where mental health is regarded as the responsibility of all.
With this award, we demonstrated our commitment to:
We have launched the Five Ways to Well-being across our academy.
The children have talked about the five areas and are encouraged to:
Childline – Staying safe online
Child Bereavement UK – Supporting bereaved children & young people
Mindfullness – Emotional wellbeing class clips for KS1 and KS2
Mental Health – Mentally Healthy Schools
Changes – Metal Health meetings
Bullying and Cyberbullying – NSPCC
Childline support services for pupils and parents
Bereavement – Child Bereavement UK
Suicide – Shout is the UK’s first free 24/7 text service for anyone in crisis anytime, anywhere.
