At Queen Eleanor's, we recognise the importance of positive mental health and wellbeing for all our pupils to lead a happy, healthy and productive life. It is important for pupils to have a voice, be able to contribute ideas and influence how to improve the wellbeing of their peers and the wider school community. We are proud to have a group of children appointed by their peers as Wellbeing Ambassadors to help drive through positive change and support the whole school community. 

The Ambassadors have the responsibility of leading and promoting wellbeing throughout the school. They drive the message forward and release the stigma around talking about challenging feelings and encourage people to talk.  Wellbeing Ambassadors provide feedback on what’s working well and highlight any gaps in our whole-school approaches to wellbeing. The role of our Wellbeing Ambassadors also include:

• Promoting positive mental health & raising awareness of mental health problems 
• Removing the stigma of mental health by getting people talking about mental health and sharing their experiences
• Supporting and organising specific events & celebrating mental health awareness days
• Leading a range of activities within the school that promote health & wellbeing e.g. assemblies, circle times etc 
• Signposting pupils to access support in our school
