Excellence in Schools 107
Our approach is evidence-based, informed by regular pupil wellbeing surveys and careful observation of engagement levels. These insights guide our initiatives, ensuring that pupils receive support tailored to their evolving needs. Importantly, our focus on wellbeing has led to higher attendance rates and improved pupil satisfaction, demonstrating the profound impact of a nurturing and supportive school environment. An essential part of a wellbeing culture is also ensuring that our staff community is cohesive and vibrant. We are currently establishing a Community Enhancement Group, with representatives from all areas of the school, whose remit is to construct a calendar of social events that our staff can participate in, such as yoga or golf days.
Wellbeing at Brighton College Abu Dhabi extends beyond individual development. It shapes a thriving community. By fostering emotional awareness, resilience, and strong interpersonal connections, we ensure that pupils grow into empathetic, engaged individuals ready to contribute meaningfully to society.
These collaborative activities help to build relationships and strengthen the community, giving a sense of belonging to our staff. When our staff feel secure, valued and have positive wellbeing, they in turn perform better in the classroom and are able to empathise with our pupils more effectively. Developing wellbeing amongst our staff is an important end in itself, but it also positively impacts our pupils’ wellbeing.
