Wellbeing

The physical, social and emotional wellbeing of all our pupils and staff is a priority and Bishop Perrin School. We have appointed a Wellbeing Officer who manages our wellbeing resources (which includes prioritising access to our trained ELSAs and access to our children’s wellbeing practitioner). They also oversee our wellbeing school initiatives and support staff in delivering them.

We have an annual wellbeing week during which we explore a range of wellbeing strategies with the children that they can apply in their everyday lives.

Our Wellbeing Officer is available to support staff with their wellbeing and can direct them to relevant support agencies should this be desired.
