Wellbeing Report 

Caring for the Wellbeing of our students is a high priority at Nazareth. 

This year we will again be using the Pivot Wellbeing Check-In Survey to assist us to monitor this with real time data. Information for parents has been sent via email earlier in the term.

Pivot Wellbeing Survey

Pivot Professional Learning has collaborated with wellbeing, education and mental health experts to identify the key components of wellbeing and the impact these have on a student’s ability to learn at school. 

How the Wellbeing for Learning tool works

The Wellbeing for Learning check-in has been designed to help students and teachers monitor and understand wellbeing. The check-in takes one minute, once a week to complete and students are asked to answer questions on:

As the Wellbeing of our students is constantly changing, we continue to monitor the data we receive to be able to address concerning areas in a timely manner.

I look forward to sharing insights into the data we receive over the coming months.

Goal Setting

This week in Extended Pastoral we have started the conversation around setting Learning Goals.

Goal setting is a powerful process for thinking about your ideal future, and for motivating yourself to turn your vision of this future into reality. By knowing precisely what you want to achieve, you know where you have to concentrate your efforts. It is also helpful to quickly spot the distractions that can so easily lead you astray.

By setting sharp, clearly defined goals, students can measure and take pride in the achievement of their goals and see forward progress. This helps to raise self-confidence, as they are able to recognize their ability and competence in achieving the goals that they have set.

To assist students in their goal setting, we spend time in Extended Pastoral with the Pastoral Teacher on the goal setting process using the SMART goals structure. See the attached visual.

Students are asked to reflect upon previous experience in their learning, of what worked well for them in the past, and obstacles which may have impacted their learning.

Students will establish their goals and upload them onto Simon so that they can reflect on them over the course of the semester, adjust where needed, and strive to achieve them. Pastoral Teachers will then be able to monitor their students learning and achievement of goals over the course of the year. 

Hopefully this will also create opportunities for you to have conversations with your child about their learning and how they are going with achieving their goals.
