Wellbeing Start
The start to the school day is vital to ensure we are able to set our pupils up to be successful learners. With this in mind, we have considered the travel needs and SEMH needs of our pupils to create what we call the “Wellbeing Start” This is the opening part of each school day and allows our pupils time to settle upon arrival. Pupils have a number of options in this time and it is used to support regulation and preparation for the day ahead. Pupils can register and organise their lunches, as well as then choose from having “check in” with each other and key adults, join our breakfast club or take part in a sensory/physical activity.
Each part of the Wellbeing Start has been designed from reflection and pupil voice, to ensure each pupil is in the best possible place to begin learning each day.
Break and Lunchtime
Pupils have a number of options available to them at break time and lunchtime. Lunchtime is when we run many of our enrichment clubs to ensure all pupils can access them should they wish to. During these times, activities may include:
Chess Club
IT Club
Drama Club
Music Club
Chat Room
Lego Club
We are always happy to add more when our pupils have ideas or interests we can support.
Tutor time and dismissal each day
Prior to leaving each day, all pupils return to their form tutors for an afternoon check-in prior to dismissal. This time is vital to support our form tutors in building a strong and trusting rapport with pupils, which then in turn means strong daily communication with parents and carers. We use Class Dojo to directly communicate with our families but we are also available to call or email.
Friday Afternoon Enrichment
Our pupils take part in enrichment on a Friday afternoon during lessons 5 and 6. This time is viewed as a vitally important part of our school week, as it not only provides motivation for pupils throughout the week, but it also allows us to offer a wide range of activities and experiences in this time. This time is also crucial for relationship and friendship building, as well as supporting life skills and personal development in a “low threat” context.
