Malvern Primary School is a system built on people. As a school, we believe that systems built on people should put people first. Good staff wellbeing is essential for cultivating a healthy school, for retaining motivated and happy staff and for promoting pupil wellbeing and attainment.

At Malvern, we understand that wellbeing is about holistic health, including the physical and emotional. When we have good levels of wellbeing, we feel that life is in balance and we can generally cope well. We feel motivated and engaged, we’re resilient and able to deal effectively with daily troubles, as well as ’bounce back’ from life’s challenges.

We believe that there is no universal, one-size-fits all, solution to promoting the wellbeing of our colleagues. What promotes the wellbeing of one individual may be of detriment to another. Therefore, our school approach to wellbeing is as diverse as the workforce it serves. As a school, we prioritise the individual. We aim to ensure that colleagues are given the right emotional and practical support in a way that is purposeful for them as an individual.

While there are many approaches that Malvern Primary School employ to promote a culture and ethos that has wellbeing at its core, we remain mindful of the individual and are committed to ensuring that school respond dynamically to the changing needs of our workforce. In doing his, we remain true to our motto:
