Relationships, care and society
It is important that students experience school as caring and respectful.
Academic success can contribute to overall feeling of well-being.
Feeling socially valued and included is also important. It is also clear that
a sense of belonging and good relationships with the school community
foster feelings of well-being. SRS strives to establish and develop good
relationships between teachers and students, students and students, and
teachers and teachers.

Including the voices of students
Student council and other forums support and encourage students to
become confident and articulate, able and equipped to make
informed decisions and take part in the decision making process of the
school. Students are elected annually by their peers and are responsible
for communicating ideas, opinions and recommendations for school
development and improvement. They will be trained in leadership,
decision-making, advocacy and communication skills to support the
provision of an effective student voice. – This paragraph is repeated in
Part 14 under Pastoral Care.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
A healthy lifestyle is key to ensuring all students recognise that good food,
daily physical activity and a healthy environment will support learning
and growth vital for students to reach their full potential; we will be
providing them with activities and information through assemblies and
welfare sessions to develop healthy lifestyle attitudes for life. Research
shows that students who are healthy in body perform better
academically and socially. Healthy Lifestyles are promoted throughout
the year by students being provided opportunities to take part in a
number of activities both in and outside of the curriculum to support
raising awareness.

Inclusion
SRS inclusion aims to provide the individual learning needs of all children
in the school and to maximise the learning potential for all students so
that they may all experience success.
