Announcements

We are delighted to announce that The Village School has been awarded the Wellbeing Award for Schools (WAS), recognising our ongoing commitment to promoting and supporting the wellbeing of our students, staff, and families.

This prestigious award is a significant achievement and reflects the hard work, dedication, and collaboration of our entire school community. Over the past year, we have continued to place wellbeing at the heart of everything we do, ensuring that every member of our community feels valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.

What is the Wellbeing Award for Schools?

The Wellbeing Award for Schools is a nationally recognised accreditation that acknowledges schools which demonstrate an outstanding commitment to promoting positive mental health and wellbeing. The award evaluates how effectively a school supports the emotional wellbeing of students, staff, and the wider school community through its culture, policies, practices, and provision.

Schools undertaking the award process are assessed against a set of rigorous standards, which focus on areas such as leadership, teaching and learning, staff wellbeing, student voice, support systems, and engagement with parents and carers. Achieving the award demonstrates that wellbeing is embedded throughout the school and is a key priority in school development.

A Community Effort

At The Village School, we believe that positive wellbeing is fundamental to learning, personal growth, and success. Throughout our journey towards achieving this award, we have strengthened our wellbeing provision through a range of initiatives designed to support mental health, emotional resilience, positive relationships, and a sense of belonging.

This achievement is a testament to the commitment of our staff, the enthusiasm and engagement of our students, and the ongoing support of our parents and carers. Together, we have created a nurturing environment where individuals are encouraged to flourish both academically and personally.

Looking Ahead

While we are incredibly proud to have received the Wellbeing Award for Schools, we recognise that wellbeing is an ongoing journey rather than a destination. We remain committed to continually developing and enhancing our provision to ensure that every member of The Village School community continues to feel safe, supported, respected, and valued.

We would like to thank everyone who has contributed to this achievement and helped make wellbeing such an important part of life at The Village School. We look forward to building on this success and continuing to promote a positive culture of wellbeing for all.

Wellbeing is at the heart of our school, and this award is a wonderful recognition of the difference we are making together.
