Student Health & Wellbeing

At Overton Grange School we work towards positive Emotional Health and Wellbeing in the whole of our school community. We believe that happy students and staff learn well and are more confident and more motivated.

We want to promote a culture of being able to share concerns – so that all members of the school community feel valued and supported. We do this through:

  • All interactions between staff and students

  • All interactions between school and home

  • High quality teaching and support

The Pastoral system – including: tutors, Heads of Year, Pastoral Support Officer, Education Welfare Officer, Student and Family Support Officer, Deputy Headteacher

  • Assemblies – including regular achievement assemblies

  • Tutor time activities

  • PSHE lessons

  • School website

  • School newsletters

  • Safeguarding Ambassadors

  • Liaison with outside agencies

  • HR processes at school

The Education wellbeing service

At Overton Grange, we have Education Wellbeing Practitioners (EWPs) from the Education Wellbeing Service - Sutton’s Mental Health Support Team. EWPs are available to meet with students directly at school to offer guided self-help support for those experiencing anxiety or low mood.

 

They can provide support to young people who are:

- Beginning to experience common mental health issues such as low mood, anxiety, or difficulties managing emotions.

- Interested in engaging with CBT-based guided self-help, a structured and practical approach that involves completing tasks between sessions.

- Able to attend 6-8 weekly sessions at school

- Dealing with difficulties that are manageable enough to benefit from an early intervention approach.

- Not currently receiving support from CAMHS or Children and Family Services.

 

If you are interested to hear more about the Guided Self Help support that the Education Wellbeing Service can offer or would like to be referred to this service, please speak to Pep Nicol or your Head of Year who can give you our referral form, or use this link: https://forms.office.com/e/9gnAZgbj6e to self-refer.
