Wellbeing Award for Schools 2020
Hove Park School is pleased to announce it has been awarded the Wellbeing Award for Schools.
It has taken 2 years to achieve the Wellbeing award. During this time the school has developed policy and practice to ensure the wellbeing of our whole school community is put at the forefront of everything that we do. The external assessor commented
Evidence provided at the verification visit was comprehensive and clearly demonstrated that EWMH is a main priority at Hove Park. I am delighted to recommend that the school be awarded the Wellbeing Award for Schools for a period of three years.
Head teacher, Jim Roberts said
As part of the assessment day the verifier spoke with staff, students, parents and carers to discuss the ongoing impact of the schools work in this area. It was lovely to receive the comments and feedback that reinforces how far we have come. There is still more to do and we acknowledge we don’t get everything right all of the time but we listen and importantly act on feedback in the best interests of our school community.
Staff said that MH is at the forefront of SLT’s priorities and that staff are really supportive of and care about one another. There is an open door; you can talk to anyone if you’re having a bad day; they don’t judge; people are kind.
Students report that relationships with staff are excellent. The ‘Yourspace’ email – where students can report concerns - is checked every day by wellbeing staff and students say that responses are quick and supportive. Student champions also signpost peers to support.
Parents praise the support they and their children receive from the school. They deal with issues tactfully, there is a lot of support for students and parents. They appreciate the work the school does on conflict resolution - it is very restorative, friendships are repaired, it is treated as a learning opportunity. Head teacher, Jim Roberts said
There is no better example of our school vision statement ‘Together We Achieve.’ We should all take collective pride in this award. In many ways this achievement only reinforces what we already know – that as a school community we look after and care for each other. It is however, very special to have that acknowledged and celebrated.
