Prioritizing Student Wellbeing

SVS is dedicated to the wellbeing of our students, ensuring they have access to a range of resources and support systems that cater to their diverse needs. Our Wellbeing Hub is a serene sanctuary where students can meet with the school counsellor finding support and peace.

Our pastoral team hosts regular workshops and seminars on crucial topics like stress management, mindfulness, and healthy relationships, equipping students and parents with essential life skills. Additionally, physical wellbeing is a key focus, with regular exercise encouraged through physical education classes, sports teams, and extracurricular activities. We also continuously monitor student wellbeing using apps and questionnaires to ensure their holistic development.

“We are striving to create an exciting environment, where all students will excel academically, thrive emotionally, and will flourish into successful, responsible, confident global citizens.”

- Naomi Williams, Vice Principal and Designated Safeguarding Lead

Safeguarding: A Top Priority

At SVS, we prioritize safeguarding to ensure all pupils are protected, nurtured, and able to thrive. Our staff undergo rigorous training to identify and respond to potential risks effectively. Designated safeguarding leads support students and families, working closely with parents through open communication to create a safe learning environment. This secure atmosphere allows students to focus on their education and personal development without fear.

“At SVS, we prioritise pastoral care alongside academic success. Recognising that they both come hand in hand. For it is through nurturing the whole child that we truly unlock their limitless potential”

Laura Stokes, Head of Primary
