iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Who We Are Home Information Mental Health and Wellbeing Who We Are at St John's Mead, we have a school environment where everyone feels valued and respected. In April 2025, we introduced a team of pupil Wellbeing Ambassadors to support the school.
These children (in Years 3-6) are chosen by their teachers to represent our core value of kindness and for their ability to spread positivity. Good mental health and wellbeing helps our children to learn effectively, cope with day-to-day challenges and develop into resilient young adults.
The Wellbeing Ambassadors work with Mrs Queiros, our Senior Mental Health Lead and Mrs Goddard, our Mental Health First Aider and Learning Mentor, to understand how to help the children and staff around the school to feel their best. You can spot them in school wearing their Wellbeing Ambassador badges and colourful yellow caps.
At St John's Mead, we have a school environment where everyone feels valued and respected.
