Action:
We are delighted that we have now been awarded the ‘Wellbeing Award for Schools’. The award recognises the hard work of the entire Woodlane community in placing mental health and wellbeing as one of our highest priorities. A huge thank you to governors, staff, parents and pupils for their contributions. As always, our door remains open to anyone seeking support or guidance.
Please download our certificate and verification report below. Here are some highlights:
‘It was clear from the meetings with colleagues that management and staff are passionate about promoting wellbeing and also have the skills and support they need to do this effectively. Students clearly feel safe at the school and can articulate both how Woodlane supports their EWMH and also how they can manage their own feelings and help others. Overall, a most impressive school.’
‘The school feels welcoming and friendly. Colleagues and students acknowledge each other (and Award verifiers!) and interactions are kind and thoughtful.’
‘I was impressed by the confidence and openness shown by the students during my conversations with them.’
‘Kindness and wellbeing are enshrined in the school’s professed values and these messages are clearly replicated around the school.’
Every year we survey our pupils to gain their views on Woodlane High School and our practices. Given the significant challenges of the past two years, the senior managers and governors are pleased with this year’s results, however, we aim for 100% in every area next year!
