Wellbeing
At Oldmachar Academy, wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do. At Oldmachar Academy:
All young people feel included and a sense of belonging
Differences are valued and celebrated
We are committed to creating a caring, inclusive and respectful environment where every pupil feels known, valued and supported. Our approach is built on strong relationships, a nurturing ethos, and a shared responsibility across all staff to promote mental, emotional, social and physical wellbeing.
Through initiatives like Crew, targeted support from Pupil Support staff, and a curriculum that embeds Health & Wellbeing across all subjects, we help young people develop resilience, confidence and the skills they need to thrive in school and beyond. Our wellbeing strategy is dynamic and responsive, shaped by pupil voice and community feedback, and aligned with national frameworks such as GIRFEC.

What is Crew
Crew at Oldmachar Academy is a cornerstone of our commitment to nurturing well-rounded, resilient young people. Through Crew, students benefit from a strong support network, with more trusted adults available to talk to when they feel worried or upset. Regular, calendarised wellbeing check-ins take place in a safe and familiar environment, led by staff who know each pupil well. Within their Crew, students are part of a caring and inclusive peer group, where they grow as Considerate Citizens and Collaborative Communicators. The Crew programme also delivers key learning through the Health & Wellbeing curriculum, helping students become Ambitious Learners, Adaptable Individuals, and Innovative Thinkers equipping them with the skills to thrive both in and beyond school.
