Emotional wellbeing in schools

Emotional wellbeing

The complexities of school life were vast before COVID but now it’s mind-boggling. Teachers simply want to make children their central focus, but the ever-increasing demands on their time outside the classroom are having a detrimental impact on their emotional wellbeing.


As parents, if you want your child to be okay, you want their teacher to be okay too. 

Fortunately, we’ve had the opportunity to support many schools and teachers throughout the COVID years and Laura Drury started the new year doing that very thing! She had the pleasure of visiting Datchet St Mary’s, along with St. Luke’s Primary, to deliver an emotional wellbeing session.

Poor wellbeing isn’t something that happens overnight; it’s usually lots of little things that accumulate over time. For us to manage our emotional wellbeing better, we need to recognise and understand which areas require our attention and how they’ve been impacted, in order the understand what we can do to change it.

This is what we focused on for the first part of the morning, combining it with some fun activities and lots of laughter. Laughter alone is hugely beneficial as it releases endorphins - brain chemicals that help us feel good, relax and re-focus our minds. Don’t underestimate the power of laughing regularly to interrupt stressful moments and help make better decisions. 

And as laughter is contagious you connect better with the people you work with. That connection is hugely important in emotional wellbeing; looking out for the people around you, as well as yourself.
