Student Life Wellbeing Support
WELLBEING DURING SCHOOL CLOSURE COVID-19
We have put together a support directory and daily activity calendar ideas to help students manage their mental health during this challenging time.
Student Wellbeing
We want you, our students, to thrive at Nailsea School, we want you to be aspirational individuals, with a belief in yourself to be successful. We recognise that ‘success’ has a range of meanings and that it can only be measured by the achievement of you as an individual.
In order for you to be all of those things, we understand that your wellbeing has to be our priority. There are lots of ways to maintain good wellbeing, whether it’s through exercise, expanding your friendship groups and life experience through a range of activities, managing your workload, or finding the right person to talk to.
Our pastoral team, your tutor, Head of House, or any of the Safeguarding Team are here to help, please do approach them for advice and guidance.
If you or anyone you know is at risk of harm then you must let a member of staff know. You can tell any member of staff about your concerns. They then may pass it on to a member of the safeguarding team.
The email address for non-urgent matters is safeguardingteam@nailseaschool.com but it is always best to talk with one of the team in person.
The Nailsea School Safeguarding Team
There are also a number of other resources that might be useful – see below.
It is the right of all individuals in Nailsea School to feel safe and secure without fear of bullying or intimidation.
Wellspring Counselling are an independent charity who work in partnership with Nailsea School to help with students wellbeing and mental health.
Students can be referred to a counsellor by Head of House or by self-referral. Likewise, students can approach a member of the safeguarding team and if appropriate, they will then be introduced to a member of the Wellspring Counselling team. The counselling they provide at Nailsea School is Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT).
