Essential Award: 15 November 2022 to 15 November 2025
Congratulations to Frome Vale Academy on achieving the Essential Award!
Frome Vale Academy have worked hard to implement good practice across a range of areas, but particularly in relation to pupil health and wellbeing and enabling pupils to express their views and influence decisions on health and wellbeing in school.
The school have introduced various methods to develop a better understanding of their children’s needs including pupil questionnaires and several pupil voice groups.
Based on pupil’s feedback new class play equipment has been chosen by pupils to meet pupils interests and Wake and Shake has been reinstated. From Vale Academy also finances a play therapist to work with individual children and the school monitors the impact in pupil wellbeing.
The school supports their staff wellbeing by investing in mental health training, providing ongoing support to staff and having a wellbeing policy for staff and pupils.
Well done Frome Vale Academy!
