WELL BEING AT FAIRLIGHT

From September 2020 one of our key areas with our School Improvement Plan is Well Being. 

Our main target is To ensure a high focus on the well-being of all members of the Fairlight Primary and Nursery School Community.

As a school we pride ourselves on our vision of Every Individual Child Achieves. This isn't just about academic areas such as Maths and English but also more importantly about well-being.

As a school for a number of years we have promoted this area and had this as one of our priorities.

With the current situation this is even more important.

We actively support well-being through work in the curriculum but also through:

• Our Nurture Class,
• Various Well Being groups for pupils around themes and common threads,
• Various Well Being groups for parents around themes and common threads,
• Learning Mentors,
• School Based Play Therapist,
• Liaison with outside counselling services.

Also as a school we promote key aspects of well-being through other areas that we feel impact on a child, member of staff and parents well- being such as:

• Opal Play,
• Golden Time,
• Our School Garden.
• As well as many aspects of our curriculum.
