Our Wellbeing Programme
Our Junior School Wellbeing Programme is designed to help every child feel safe, confident, and ready to learn. Through activities, reflection, and positive relationship-building, pupils develop the skills they need to understand their emotions, care for their bodies and minds, and support one another. The programme encourages kindness, resilience, and a sense of belonging, empowering students to navigate challenges and celebrate their strengths both in and beyond the classroom.
- Monday morning wellbeing check-ins with every child where any worries can be shared and discretely followed up by Form Tutors and Pastoral leads as needed.
- Weekly BOUNCE lessons focused on emotional resilience and developed with leading psychologists.
- Wellbeing Wednesday sessions, giving time and space for reflection, discussion and creative expression.
- Mindfulness courses for older pupils, supporting calm, focus and self-regulation.
- Paint and Chat sessions, offering girls a relaxed way to talk and connect.
We also celebrate Wellbeing Day annually – a joyful, off-timetable experience featuring everything from mindful colouring and clay modelling to visits from therapy animals. It’s a chance for everyone – including staff – to reset and recharge.
Our pupils are also supported by a full-time school nurse and a specialist mental health coach. Leadership and responsibility are encouraged through roles such as Peer Mentors, House Captains, Eco Squad members and Digital Leaders. Every Form 1 (Year 3) pupils has an Upper 2 (Year 6) Big Sister who reads with her, joins her for lunch and plays with her at break times; helping every new pupil to settle quickly and develop friendships beyond her class.
We champion healthy digital habits and are proud advocates of a smartphone-free childhood. Girls are taught how to navigate the online world safely while also developing an appreciation for screen-free time, nature and face-to-face friendships.
We work in close partnership with parents through regular updates, open communication and expert-led workshops. We invite parents to be part of school life and to share in their daughter’s growth and achievements.
At LEH Junior School, care and connection come first – because strong roots lead to confident growth.
