WELLBEING
“Poor wellbeing might also be associated with loneliness, isolation and lower employment prospects, as well as poor diet and exercise” to the classroom. Waiting in a lunch queue, taking your turn in a break-time game and resolving friendship issues can be hard to do, but so much easier if you can see others (child or grown up) working through problems and seeking support when they need it. While schools face huge pressures from every direction – academic, financial and philosophical – they still occupy a hugely important and influential place in children’s lives, not just while they’re there but for decades after they’ve left. So making the experience as positive as possible has to be worth every single penny of investment.
