We want students to leave school with an array of positive memories that last for a lifetime, so at Kingswood, we promote the importance of being proactive in taking care of our own wellbeing. Wellbeing weeks take place every half-term and offer a wide array of experiences to provide students and staff with the awareness of different strategies they can use to improve their own wellbeing. These are exciting weeks in our academy and all the events empower students to make new friends, take care of their wellbeing and create positive memories.

Wellbeing week this term was a huge success with students engaging in a range of activities after school. These sessions aim to support students to learn new skills and enhance physical, intellectual, emotional and social development through competition, play and enjoyment. The following sessions have been offered to students in half-term one: Science through the brain, pumpkin carving, cheerleading, learn Spanish and a chess tournament. In half term-two, the following sessions were offered to students: Christmas cracker making, baking, bauble-making, boxing and a Christmas quiz. These sessions can offer students with opportunities that they may not have access to outside of the academy and can also inspire them to find new hobbies and socialise with other students outside of the classroom.

"I have taken part in all the wellbeing weeks. My favourite was the 'Science of Happiness' - I worry for no reason sometimes and it was interesting to find out why my brain does this. I love that each wellbeing week there is something different to sign up to. Lots of the things I learn, I try at home."
