& Personal Development

1. The MAT as a centre of incubation and innovation for health, wellbeing and personal development,

using physical education as a main driver

2. The MAT using health, wellbeing & personal

development to drive whole school improvement and the development of an ethos of continual improvement and success through a strategic

leader

3. The MAT as a centre of excellence working with other schools across the

MAT to improve outcomes for young people in those

schools, driven by a strategic leader

4. The MAT lead working with wider education, health and sport services to

support health inequalities, social mobility and integrated and strategic services.

5. The MAT as an outward-facing centre of excellence contributing to the health & wellbeing and personal development of

young people at a local, regional and national level.

Wellbeing A Trust – Wide Approach at Aspire MAT

Sian Hall - Head of School, St Breock School

working together… inspiring excellenceAspire’s approach is underpinned by a sense of moral purpose and commitment to doing what is right

for children, by supporting colleagues to achieve excellence and acting with integrity in all dealings

within and beyond the organisation, in the interests of children.

Vision• To provide all our children with a truly outstanding, world-class education

• To raise aspiration and achievement for all children

• For every academy to be, or become, outstanding and remain so always

• To be transparent, generous, and honest in how we work with each other

Aspire Academy Core ValuesAspire believes in putting children first. Aspire is driven by a common moral purpose to challenge, collaborate

and improve standards through accountability at every level:

Aspiration - to achieve the best for ourselves and others, to imagine possibilities and make them real

Spirit - courage of our convictions, energy, and determination

Passion - enthusiastic and committed to seek opportunity, find what is good and pursue talents and interests

Integrity – honest with ourselves and others in all that we do

Resilience - to overcome obstacles and reach success

Excellence – to achieve outstanding pupil outcomes within a world class educational trust

Our values are reflective of our mission to put the children we serve at the heart of all we do

The employees………

Every individual has a right to:

• Mental, emotional, social and physical wellbeing

• Experience personal achievement

The Trust recognises that;

• Employee engagement is critical in ensuring that health and wellbeing provision is meaningful and

successful.

• We are all responsible for creating an organisation that promotes health and wellbeing strategies.

• Inspirational learning environments can be created with a motivated, valued and dynamic workforce.

• Health and Wellbeing is core to a first class academy workforce where the pupils will be rewarded with

outstanding outcomes.

It is the aim of Aspire Academy Trust that each individual will:

• Promote healthy life style choices during the school day

• Be a positive role model

• Be responsible for actively seeking support if it is needed, professionally or personally

• Participate in personal and professional development opportunities, strategies and training

At the heart of our culture and

ethos is our commitment to

educating and nurturing the whole

child.

Through a curriculum that is characterised by a sense of fun, fascination, creativity, imagination and reflection, every Aspire child will:

1) develop positive personal traits, dispositions and virtues that inform their motivation and guide their conduct now and in the future.

2) understand and live out the fundamental British values of democracy, individual liberty, the rule of law and mutual respect and tolerance.

3) explain that difference is a positive, not a negative and that individual characteristics make people unique. 4) develop self-confidence, resilience and knowledge so that they can keep themselves mentally healthy. 5) learn to recognise online and offline risks to their well-being and know about the support available to them. 6) know how to keep physically healthy, eat healthily and maintain an active life-style. 7) have an age-appropriate understanding of healthy relationships through appropriate relationship and sex education. 8) Be responsible, resourceful and active citizens who play their part in the school and local community, including having essential first-aid knowledge.

Cambridge United Community Trust

CAM Academy Trust 11 schools – 5 Secondary 6

Primary across the South

Cambridgeshire area. Over

6500 students on-roll across

all the schools.

All schools are mixed entry

and are comprehensive.

Generally situated in rural

communities.

• The excellence principle - Education must be of the very highest standard.

• The comprehensive principle - Education must be for all kinds and abilities.

• The community principle - Every Academy must be at the heart of its local community and serve it well.

• The partnership principle - Each Academy must seek to work positively in partnership with others for mutual benefit.

• The international principle - The curriculum inside and outside the classroom must have a clear international dimension.

The Five Core Principles of the CAM Academy Trust

• All students in our Academies will be helped to become:

• Capable. Through skills developed, attributes nurtured and qualifications gained, our students will be able to take a full, positive role in society.

• Confident. Having had their abilities confirmed and seen them flourish, our students are confident to be able to make the most of their talents and contribute to their communities.

• Caring. An emphasis on working with each other and recognising the position of other people throughout the world helps our students to develop a proper caring attitude.

• We want to normalise talking about mental health – the project helped

give our staff confidence to do this.

Why did we engage with the ‘Mind your head’

programme?

Mind Your HeadMental Health Education Programme

Impact & evaluation

Report compiled by Carngegie Centre of Excellence for Mental

Health in Schools at Leeds Beckett University

Significant Increase in mental health literacy

Recognised as example of successful practice based evidence

by all parliamentary group in report on a fit & healthy childhood

Recognised by efl Executive Chair Debbie Jevans - “Cambridge United’s

‘mentally healthy’ approach across all areas of the Club and community is a model for the game. We are

proud that the EFL partnership with Mind has helped drive change across football on such an important

issue for the game and society.”

Suzanne Smith Head of PSHE:

“you could see the students ’switching on’ and engaging with the

players. The issue we have with mental health is that students

have a stereotype of people who have mental illness. Working with

Cambridge United has meant that our students, especially our

boys, see mental health as part of their overall well-being and

something that they need to work on just like physical well-being.

Feedback from staff:

Feedback from staff:

A PSHE Teacher:

I learnt how to talk about mental health. I have had mental

health challenges myself but I think there is still so much

stigma about discussing it. Working on the project meant

that I now see that it is important to normalise mental

health issues by talking about them honestly with students.
