Pastoral Care

At Eltham College, pastoral care is extremely important and our teachers, nurses, school counsellor and Chaplain ensure our students are supported academically and emotionally every day. Our nurses regularly attend form time to speak with students to discuss the importance of keeping their minds and bodies healthy, and how best to do this. Our School Counsellor takes group sessions to discuss key challenges being faced by our students, and holds one-to-one sessions with students where needed.

Our Wellbeing Curriculum is built around the ‘5Rs’ framework: Resilience, Respect, Relationships, Responsibility and Readiness. The curriculum is overseen by our Head of Wellbeing, Mrs Nicola Bilsby. Students from Year 7 through to the Sixth Form take part in various lessons that focus on different aspects of these five areas.

Respect Relationships Responsibility Resilience Readiness

At Eltham College, we understand the importance of prioritizing wellbeing alongside academic excellence. We believe that a thriving mind, body, and spirit are fundamental to achieving personal and educational success. Therefore, we are pleased to offer regular updates that focus on fostering a healthy and positive environment for our entire school community.

Below you will find termly updates that cover a wide range of topics related to wellbeing. From mental health initiatives and strategies for stress management to physical fitness programs and nutrition tips, pastoral care is important to us and we aim to provide comprehensive support that promotes the wellbeing of our students and parents alike.
