Pupil Wellbeing
At Prestfelde School, we believe wellbeing is the foundation of both academic success and a fulfilling life, enabling our pupils to grow with confidence and resilience. We are dedicated to nurturing a supportive community where every pupil feels seen, valued, and understood. By creating a sense of belonging and celebrating individuality, we create an environment that promotes not only academic achievement but also emotional intelligence, strong relationships, and a lifelong love of learning.
Our carefully designed programmes and enriching activities ensure that pupils thrive, not just in their studies, but in their personal growth. Wellbeing extends far beyond the classroom, and we work closely with parents, guardians, and external experts, such as The Wellbeing Hub, to build a strong, collaborative support network. Together, we empower pupils to flourish in all aspects of their lives
Prestfelde's Peer Menotors
At Prestfelde School, we are proud to run a Peer Mentoring Programme as part of our commitment to wellbeing and leadership development. The benefits of peer mentoring are well-established in research. Studies, including a systematic review published by Cambridge University Press, highlight that peer mentoring positively impacts the mental health and wellbeing of both mentors and mentees.
These programmes foster reduced anxiety, increased self-confidence, and enhanced problem-solving skills, creating a ripple effect of support across the school community. Additionally, mentoring relationships encourage the development of key personal skills, such as empathy, effective communication, and teamwork. Research also shows that pupils who take on mentoring roles demonstrate greater leadership abilities and often show improved academic focus and commitment. For younger pupils, the reassurance of having a supportive peer to turn to can significantly boost their sense of belonging and emotional security, which are vital for personal and academic growth.
Our Peer Mentoring Programme doesn’t just benefit individual pupils; it enhances the strength and unity of our school community. Younger pupils gain reassurance and a sense of belonging through the support of their mentors, while older pupils develop confidence, empathy, and a deeper understanding of responsibility. This mutual support helps to create a positive and collaborative environment where kindness and understanding are prioritised, allowing all pupils to flourish together
