Congratulations to The Beeches Primary School for achieving the Healthy Schools Award and demonstrating a strong and strategic commitment to health, wellbeing and resilience across the school community. Mental health leadership is embedded at senior level, with trained Mental Health First Aiders and targeted interventions such as Brain Buddies and ELSA supporting students to build confidence and manage challenges effectively.
Student voice plays an active role in shaping school life with feedback directly influencing playtime provision and extra curricular clubs which increases participation across year groups. Daily opportunities for physical activity, Forest School provision and residential experiences promote active lifestyles, while cooking experiences and sustainability work reinforce healthy choices and environmental responsibility.
Strong safeguarding systems, inclusive practice and close partnership with families ensure that students feel supported, listened to and valued. The Beeches Primary School is a clear example of a school placing wellbeing at the heart of learning and community life.
