A Parent Guide to the Wellbeing Support at South Hill School Meet the Team Everyone at South Hill School is committed to ensuring that every child and family is supported to have and maintain healthy wellbeing. The team above work together to focus on ensuring that the daily life for children and families is positive, both at school and at home. Read more about them over the page! Wellbeing for ALL At South Hill School, we take pride in the pastoral support we offer our pupils and families. We have a wellbeing team which focuses on supporting pupils’ personal development and welfare. Our wellbeing team signposts families to services they may need. Through our therapeutic approach to behaviour, we promote resilience and independence. We use the ‘Zones of Regulation’ across the school, which is a behaviour approach used to teach pupils to self-regulate their emotions and to take ownership over their behaviour. Our aim is to make sure we have happy pupils who are ready to learn. We very much believe that good wellbeing underpins good behaviour and good learning. It is therefore the centre of the ethos at South Hill.

The Pied Piper of Hamelin Creative arts are really important to us here at South Hill, and this term saw Year 3 and 4 take to the stage in their amazing production of ‘The Pied Piper of Hamelin’. 120 pupils took part in the production, with children from Year 4 auditioning for and taking on the principle roles. The show was performed to the whole school, as well as a matinee and packed out evening performance to parents, carers and family members. One of our parents who attended the show said: I just wanted to say how absolutely amazing the school play was! The children were fantastic, and it was honestly the best thing I've ever come to see. The teachers have clearly worked extremely hard putting this together as was evidenced by the performance last night and I am sure by all of the other performances. Well done to the teachers and to the children, it was such a pleasure to watch! Year 4 parent We are incredibly proud of the outstanding efforts of all of our children; the show was incredible and really highlighted our pupil’s talents in dance, drama and singing. We can’t wait for the next show, by Year 6, in the Summer term!

The Wellbeing Festival South Hill’s Music Festival – put wellbeing in the heart of the curriculum. ​ South Hill’s magnificent grounds played host to our Music Festival, in June 2022, which took place during our Feeling Good Week 2022. On Wednesday afternoon, the children enjoyed health snacks and each key stage sang and danced with their peers in the beautiful sunshine. We have never seen so many happy faces and the atmosphere was incredible. ​ The musical choices of each year group were linked to the 7 decades of Queen Elizabeth’s reign, and this linked with our Platinum Jubilee celebrations. From the Beatles through to Sam Ryder ‘Spaceman’ our pupils sang through the decades from 1950-2020’s in celebration of music and dancing through the ages. The pupils watched each other perform and cheered each other on. Mr Braithwaite interspersed the performances with classic pop songs that we could all enjoy together. It was great to see pupils from different year groups mixing, dancing and supporting one another. The atmosphere was amazing and was a truly joyous whole school wellbeing event. ​ A huge thank you to Mrs Toms our Music Lead for arranging this incredible event and of course Mr Braithwaite DJ extraordinaire.
