WELL-BEING AWARD FOR SCHOOLS

We are proud to announce that Eskdale Academy have been awarded the Wellbeing Award for Schools, a National standard for positive mental health and wellbeing. (February 2021)

THE WELL-BEING TEAM

The Well-being Team was set up to promote the importance of well-being among both pupils and staff at Eskdale Academy. It consists of an adult team and a team of children who meet regularly to discuss ways to promote well-being across the school. Together, we are working towards achieving a Well-being Award for the school.

STAFF WELL-BEING

At Eskdale Academy, we believe that good staff wellbeing is essential for cultivating a mentally healthy school, for motivating staff and for promoting pupil wellbeing and attainment.

​

As in all schools, our staff juggle a multitude of different tasks and demands so it is vital that we provide the right emotional and practical support so that they can, in turn, support their pupils. As a school, we place great emphasis on maintaining a work-life balance and strive to reduce the pressures that come with the job. However, we know that there are times when staff may need a little extra support.

​

Below are some links to useful websites, reading material and support groups that our staff may find useful should they need some support with their own mental wellbeing.
