Staff Wellbeing

As a school and workplace dedicated to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of our whole school community, we recognise the role that staff members play in supporting this vision.

Our approach to staff wellbeing is embedded through our whole school community who support:

Fostering and supporting a pleasant environment in which to work
A spacious staffroom for all staff to use away from pupils and visitors
School based reflective supervision sessions
Closing the school at times throughout the year (half terms and holidays) to ensure staff do not feel as though they should be in school
PPA at home, where appropriate
Opportunities to come together as a staff team, where possible
Staff being involved in their inter house competitions
Verbal recognition
Staff wellbeing surveys to capture voice
No member of staff is expected to respond to parents or emails before 8:30 am or after 5pm or at the weekend
No member of staff is expected to respond to any other emails before 8:30 am or after 5pm or at the weekend

School Based Reflective Supervision

Senior Leaders at Littlebourne provide School Based Reflective Supervision to any member of staff who identifies that they require additional support. This can be completed on a 1:1 basis or as part of a group.

All members of staff experience elements of this during daily interactions and staff meetings.
