This provision supports the school’s commitment to staff wellbeing and aligns with the expectations of Ofsted, particularly within the Leadership and Management judgement. Ofsted highlights the importance of leaders recognising and responding to staff workload and wellbeing pressures, and taking meaningful action to support staff. By providing accessible, on-site wellbeing support, this partnership contributes to a proactive approach to staff wellbeing, early intervention, and the promotion of a positive and sustainable working environment. Where appropriate, elements of this provision may also support the school’s Personal Development offer by helping to develop resilience, confidence, and emotional regulation.
