Providing Well-being
for Pupils, Staff & Parents
in an increasingly digital and connected world, the importance of the individual and the digital must be equally highlighted
to maintain a healthy balance in all members of our community. Well-being is a key component in our pursuit of excellence
and our aim is to ensure that it underpins all of our activities and decisions as a school.
Strong Pastoral Care Systems
The Beacon is a happy school and this is due largely to the strong pastoral systems in place, including a Counsellor as part of
The Beacon team. We will continue to develop Pastoral Care by fostering a deeper multi-disciplinary team approach focusing on
resilience and developing success.
Mindfulness, Well-being and Lifestyle
We will continue to encourage boys to reap the lifelong benefits of a balanced lifestyle by encouraging a sustainable, healthy
routine which integrates nutrition, mindfulness, and stewardship of the planet. We will become a centre of excellence for the
physical and mental well-being of our boys. We will continue to develop our excellent parenting sessions, to educate Beacon
families about a positive school-home life balance.
Our Staff
Hiring, supporting, developing, and retaining the best staff are key to the continuing success of our school. The development
of an enviable INSET programme will play an important part in this aim, by being designed to encourage a deeper understanding
of individual learning styles, growth mind-sets and outdoor learning, to name but a few. We are committed to reviewing
opportunities for all our staff, offering them greater feedback on their performance and the chance to share their development
aspirations. We aim to create the time and space for all our staff to further build on their professional capabilities and acquire
new skills to benefit both themselves and our boys.
