WARRINGTON’ S Sir Thomas Boteler CE High School is celebrating receiving the Wellbeing Award for Schools.
The award, which is in partnership with the National Children’s Bureau, uses an evidence-based framework and focuses on the long-term culture of the whole school.
It was noted from the report that “the focus on wellbeing has had a measurable and profound impact on its students, staff and families. The embedding of mental health and emotional wellbeing into the heart of school life has led to a culture where care, compassion and support are visible, consistent and meaningful.”
Headteacher Mrs Beverley Scott-Herron commented: “The wellbeing of our young people, staff and wider community is at the heart of everything we do and it is the foundation on which we build all our practices. The impact of getting wellbeing right improves life chances and enables to operate at a level where everyone feels heard and valued.
“Wellbeing is a fundamental part of our culture and placing an importance on that over the years has cemented our success both academically and holistically.
“We are delighted to receive the award, however we do what we do because we absolutely believe in the difference we can make by having time, care and compassion for the people who we serve.
“We will continue to strive for excellence within wellbeing and improve our practices, learning from others and developing our knowledge and skills within the many facets of this area and within mental health.
“The wellbeing of our young people and community will always be a priority for us in our Boteler Family and will continue to beat at the heart off everything we do.“
