Wellbeing@SJW
Our Mission Statement is:
'To educate each and every unique child in our care, to hear and respond to what God calls them to be'
This means that we aspire to give every child the opportunity to explore their vocation in life and achieve their best both academically and personally, within a framework of spiritual and moral guidance. We therefore ensure that pupils receive high levels of care and support, particularly around their mental health and wellbeing.
What do we do and why do we do it?
As a member of the SJW community our pupils will not only receive high quality education, we will also try our best to make sure they feel safe, cared for and supported no matter what life throws at them.
The values of Jesus are central to our school. In all that we do and say, we try and show our pupils compassion and love to help them through life’s challenges. This follows the example of Jesus who always cared for those around him.
We have a dedicated team of staff who have received training in order to support members of our community. You will see them wearing yellow lanyards around school. They can also be contacted by our wellbeing@sjw.bham.sch.uk email address.
