Wellbeing

We know and understand our pupils well. We know that they learn best when they are safe, happy and healthy and when they are able to contribute to school and community life. We also appreciate the differing academic and social needs of our pupils. We therefore provide:

• A safe environment and a sense of belonging

• A focus on pupils’ mental health and wellbeing

• Clear routines and expectations

• A focus on each child’s progress and learning style to inform teaching and tailor learning for all

• Nurture facilities, one-to-one and small group provision for social and emotional development

• Significant resources devoted to supporting those with additional needs.

Maslow's Hierachy of Needs

Abraham Maslow was a psychologist who was best known for creating 'Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs', which is represented in this picture.

This demonstrates the importance of meeting a range of our human needs, through a healthy diet and hydration, our need to be kept physically and emotionally safe, a need to belong, build esteem and have a desire to learn in order for a pupil to reach their full potential.

At Woodfield Academy we focus on the wellbeing of pupils in order to ensure success for all!
