At Bloxwich Academy, we have a Staff Wellbeing Group who meet at least twice each half term to discuss staff wellbeing. The team meet to discuss any current aspects of school life that are related to wellbeing and how these can be further improved to support colleagues at work. They also meet to discuss and plan staff wellbeing events that are put on over the course of the academic year, with the aim of providing a space and platform for staff to have time to invest in themselves away from their day to day teaching work. Recent examples of this have been events such as Nosecco and Paint, Staff Darts competition and staff breakfasts. We are proud of our proactive approach to staff wellbeing and we are grateful to the Staff Wellbeing Group, as a dedicated collection of professionals from different parts of the whole staff body, who have such a strong focus on wellbeing at Bloxwich Academy. This, in conjunction with our ongoing internal professional development, access to NPQs and being signed up to the DfE Staff Wellbeing Charter amongst other programmes and initiatives, are a clear indication of the importance we place on staff wellbeing.
