LearnWell

LearnWell is a whole school initiative launching at St. Joseph’s Academy in 2021/22. It is aimed at supporting the wellbeing of young people in order that they have the best possible opportunity to meet their potential. It will also look to support the Wellbeing of staff, parents/carers and all partners working within our community.

This initiative will focus on 4 main areas:-

Physical Wellbeing

Mental Wellbeing

Social Wellbeing

Spiritual Wellbeing

Each year, there will be a calendar of events and initiatives to focus on each of these areas of Wellbeing. There are many pre-existing activities in school which already work towards these areas, but LearnWell will look to build on these and provide a comprehensive plan to complement and enhance support.

LearnWell also provides an umbrella term which allows us to calendar and catalogue the huge amount of and variety of activities, initiatives and supports which take place in school to support wellbeing. These vary in nature and using this as term under one of the 4 areas of Learnwell will help to inform young people, parents and partners.

The aim is that the butterfly symbol will become synonymous with the support the school provides and that we prioritise the wellbeing of everyone in our community.

Using the calendar, a blog, leaflet, events and other methods of promotion will better show what we are doing as a school to support wellbeing.

Planning and cataloguing initiatives under the 4 aspects of Wellbeing also gives a structure and a foundation for us to self-evaluate and continually develop.
