Six Ways to Improve Wellbeing

In response to the escalating mental health challenges facing primary school students post-pandemic, teachers are taking a proactive approach to wellbeing. Understanding the urgency of early intervention, here are six key steps aimed at enhancing pupil wellbeing and fostering resilience within the school community.

1. Early Intervention: Acknowledging the pressing need for timely support, the school instituted pupil wellbeing meetings to identify and address low-level anxieties, facilitating a smooth transition from home to school.
2. Personalised Wellbeing Support: Embracing the uniqueness of each pupil’s journey, the school adopted a personalised approach to wellbeing support, offering tailored interventions such as 1-2-1 sessions, small roles of responsibility, and emotional support upon entry.
3. Data-Informed Wellbeing Practices: Prioritising data-informed decision-making and comprehensive pupil wellbeing data to tailor interventions, allocate resources effectively, and measure impact over time.
4. Empowering Pupils: By fostering open dialogue, providing coping strategies, and enabling early intervention, the school empowers pupils to manage their emotions, destigmatising mental health and promoting self-regulation strategies.
5. Support:  Support pupils with the tools for self-coping strategies so that they can develop skills for lifelong resilience and Wellbeing.
6. Track and Monitor: Utilising technology to track and monitor pupil mental wellbeing, the school can promptly identify red flags and provide timely intervention, ultimately creating a supportive learning environment without increasing teacher workload.
