Wellbeing of Pupils in Monastery NS

Monastery NS plays a vital role in the promotion of wellbeing through a range of activities and approaches to support the academic, physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual development of all our pupils. We continually invest with all of our school stakeholders in a positive school culture that engages and meets our pupils' needs.

We have already developed innovative approaches to wellbeing promotion supported by strong quality teaching and learning. Monastery NS is key to equipping our pupils with the knowledge, skills and competencies to deal with challenges that impact on their wellbeing.
