We are by their side, every step of the way.
At Akeley Wood School we know that student wellbeing is the key to a flourishing life. Our school vision and values underpin life at the school and our experienced pastoral and staff team are here to support your child in their school journey.
We have invested time in working towards creating an environment where Character Education is at the heart of all that we do in school.
Senior School and AW6 Wellbeing Initiatives
We've built a strong support system to help everyone thrive. We teach important character education tailored to our students and community, and start each day with routines and assemblies focused on our Core Values of Kindness, Respect, Charity, and Community. These values, along with our Learner Habits of Aspiration, Resilience, Responsibility, Integrity, and Courage, help students build skills for life.
We celebrate successes weekly and have dedicated well-being check-ins. Our experienced pastoral team and student ambassadors are always there to help. Students also reflect on their week in reflection journals, and we offer access to a school counsellor and a flexible Life Learning curriculum. Families can also access a wealth of well-being resources through The Wellbeing Hub.
Character education.
Character Education is a term used to describe the curriculum and activities that help learners (young and old) develop ethical values and virtues. It focusses on certain key pillars, including respect, responsibility, fairness, citizenship and civic virtue, trustworthiness, and caring - as demonstrated through empathy and compassion.
Using this template, we are at the beginning of a journey that will enable our students to become more reflective young people and, ultimately, citizens who will be able to contribute positively to their society; a society in which we support each other and grow together.
