Pastoral and Wellbeing

The wellbeing of our pupils lies at the heart of all we do here at Warlingham Park Prep School.

Our team work hard at equipping our pupils with the skills they will need to thrive in the years to come.

As a small school, we know our children as individuals and are able to provide a safe an nurturing environment, enabling them to thrive both academically and socially. We believe in setting examples to our pupils through positive role modelling and our code of conduct , the ‘Warlingham Way’ fosters independence, resilience, respect and kindness. These elements run through all we do at school and is reinforced by our PSHE and RSE programme. We use the ‘Discovery’ scheme of work to teach our Relationship and Health programme. We are also a ‘No Outsiders’ school, using resources to reinforce our teaching of fundamental British Values and to foster respect of all communities. Our House system means that pupils have opportunities to work with pupils across all classes.

Our pastoral team identifies any pupils needing additional emotional support and this is provided through individual or group sessions with our specially trained Teaching Assistants.

We reward our pupils achievements (both in and out of the classroom) through a good work assembly each Friday which gives pupils a chance to celebrate individual strengths.

Our older children are given areas of responsibility both as monitors and as subject ambassadors, working with children throughout the school. All pupils have a ‘reading buddy’ and share time with them weekly. Pupils from Reception upwards have the opportunity to be part of the School Council, where pupils’ opinions on a range of topics are shared with the Head.
