School Wellbeing Statement
At Mayflower, we believe that wellbeing is the foundation of a thriving and successful learning environment. Wellbeing encompasses physical, mental, emotional, and social health, ensuring that every individual feels valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.
Our wellbeing priorities focus on:
A Safe and Inclusive Environment – We are committed to fostering a culture of respect, belonging, and inclusion, where all members of our school community feel safe and supported.
Mental and Emotional Health – We promote resilience, self-awareness, and positive mental health through our assemblies, the curriculum, and national awareness days.
Physical Wellbeing – We encourage healthy lifestyles, recognising the strong connection between physical health and overall wellbeing.
Supportive Relationships – Strong, positive relationships between students, staff, and families are at the heart of our school. We prioritise communication, collaboration, and meaningful connections to create a supportive community
We strive to foster a supportive environment with a whole-school approach that provides excellent mental health support, understanding, and intervention. By placing wellbeing at the heart of our school, we commit to ensuring successful learning and aligning our policies with this practice.
We believe that a mentally healthy community is not about being happy all the time, but rather about working together through challenges and celebrating successes. It is about feeling supported, heard, accepted, valued, and empowered.
One common challenge for both parents and students is the transition back to school after the holidays. To assist with this, we have attached support resources from Dr. Tinarae, a child psychologist and award-winning author focusing on the social, emotional, and mental health of children and young people.
