Enhancing well-being through the innovative use of the school’s buildings.

Leaders make innovative use of the school building and grounds to strengthen pupils’ well-being. Staff have created a calm and homely space in an unused school building that provides a safe haven for pupils who sometimes find the classroom environment overwhelming. Partly funded by the PDG, the space known as ‘Roots’ is imaginatively used to offer targeted activities that help pupils to self-regulate, rebuild confidence and re-engage in learning. It also provides a base for family and external agency work, which further enhances partnership working.
