WHAT IS WELL-BEING?

Well-being at Phoenix World School is about looking after students so they can lead fulfilling and balanced lives at school and beyond; it is about showing students how to look after themselves and others; it is about encouraging them to seek help or support or advice when they need it and it is about helping them to be ready to become fully fledged adults who are comfortable in their own skins when they leave school. This underpins personal development; where there is outstanding pastoral care and students feel they belong and their self-esteem is able to grow because they feel valued.

Well-being at Phoenix World School begins with an underlying ethos of consideration and kindness and is promoted when the staff works collaboratively for the good of the students. If the ethos supports students’ personal and social development and where a culture of encouraging good behavior and taking on responsibility exists, students can be given the opportunity to develop self-confidence (not arrogance), to learn to keep things in perspective and to be resilient.
