The Well-being Centre has emerged as a crucial hub for enhancing community engagement and promoting overall well-being of pupils, parents and staff. Among its various initiatives, the ‘Little Rainbows’ pre-diagnosis parent and toddler group supports families with young children facing developmental challenges. This provides a vital space for parents to share experiences, gain insights, and access early intervention resources.
Training and workshops organised by the Well-being Centre play an important role in equipping parents with the tools they need to navigate the complexities of raising children with specific or complex needs. These sessions cover a range of topics, from supporting pupils with sensory needs, toileting and sleep, and behaviour management. These sessions provide practical guidance with the aim of enhancing parental confidence and competence.
The Well-being Centre also offers a range of educational opportunities for families, aiming to empower them with knowledge and skills. For example, sessions focus on developing reading, maths, numeracy and online learning.
The Well-being Centre provides a range of support for current pupils, for example hairdressing sessions, after-school clubs and introducing emotional well-being initiatives.
Parent coffee mornings provide a casual and valuable forum for parents to meet and share their experiences. The informality of these sessions fosters open communication and allows parents to discuss challenges they may face, thus building a strong sense of community.
Staff well-being sessions are integral to maintaining a supportive and effective workforce, for example through Well-being Centre led social opportunities and celebration of staff achievements.
