PASTORAL CARE
HEALTH
Our strong community of highly trained Health and Wellbeing staff are on-site and available to all pupils for medical and wellbeing support. The Pastoral Support Team – including the School Nurse and other members of the Health and Wellbeing Centre; the Head of Personalised Learning and Counselling staff, provide further support for pupils wishing to access more specialist and focused support.
CARING for a REPTONIANS' MENTAL HEALTH
An increasing number of our teaching staff have benefitted from Mental Health First Aid training and regular pop-up wellbeing cafes allow pupils to talk openly as well as in confidence to trained listeners.
A weekly tutor meeting, delivered by tutors but supplemented by guest speakers and outside agencies help to educate our pupils in an age-appropriate way on important topics, including wellness and self-care; mental health; self-esteem and a positive mindset; gambling and addiction; online safety; identity; health and diet.
