Health and Wellbeing
We take a whole school approach to wellbeing. If a child is feeling safe, happy and confident they are more likely to learn at school and progress. We are proud of the pastoral care we offer at Greensward.

We take a whole school approach to wellbeing. If a child is feeling safe, happy and confident they are more likely to learn at school and progress. We are proud of the pastoral care we offer at Greensward.
Each year group is led by an experienced Head of Year. Parents should contact the form tutor in the first instance, or the Head of Year for more pressing matters. Alongside this we offer a wide range of support for our students as well as ateam of mental health first aiders and prefects.
There are specific targeted sessions weekly which promote ways for students to explore and understand how they can improve their wellbeing.
If a child is worried during the school day they can talk to their teachers, tutors and student progress leaders. If more support is needed then referrals can be put in place in school and with other outside agencies.
Your wellbeing matters. If you’re facing challenges or simply want to take care of your mental and physical health, there are plenty of resources available to help. This section provides links to trusted websites, helplines, and organisations that offer advice, guidance, and support tailored to young people.

Some staff who work part time may not access emails until they are in school.
If you would like to see a member of staff, please phone our Main Reception in advance to make an appointment. If you do not have an appointment you will not be seen unless there are exceptional circumstances.
Concerns about individual subjects should be referred to the subject teacher in the first instance. More general concerns should be referred to your child’s form tutor in the first instance. Our SEN Co-ordinators are Mr M Aitken and Mrs K Turner. Please see communication flowchart here.
