Wellbeing & Safeguarding
At Ash Mount School, wellbeing is not a programme, it is a commitment that defines how we live, learn, and lead. Guided by our vision to Learn with Purpose, Live with Compassion, Lead with Courage, we place the wellbeing of every student and adult at the heart of our school community.
Our Approach to Wellbeing
We believe that when students feel safe, supported, and valued, they thrive. Our strategic wellbeing model focuses on five interconnected domains designed to nurture confident, balanced, and resilient learners. These elements are integrated into everything we do from our curriculum and pastoral care to our House system, service projects, and community partnerships. From Early Years to Senior School, every child is known, noticed, and nurtured.

Physical Health
Social Connection
Academic Balance

Working in Partnership with Families
Wellbeing thrives when families and school work hand in hand. We maintain open communication with families, sharing progress through structured check-ins, surveys, and individual reflection tools. This proactive approach allows us to identify concerns early and respond quickly, ensuring every learner receives the support they need.
