PRIORITISING PUPIL WELLBEING
At Harrogate Ladies’ College, pupil health and wellbeing are at the heart of everything we do. As part of our school-wide wellness strategy, we have invested in a dedicated on-site Wellness Centre – a central hub designed to support the pupils’ physical, mental and social wellbeing.
OUR WELLNESS CENTRE
The Wellness Centre offers a diverse range of activities and resources to help pupils maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle. Our programs include:
- Mindfulness – Helping pupils develop focus and relaxation techniques.
- Nutrition and Sleep Guidance – Offering expert advice on healthy habits.
- Exam Anxiety Support – Providing strategies to manage academic stress.
INTEGRATING WELLNESS INTO DAILY LIFE
We believe wellness should be an everyday priority, which is why we incorporate wellbeing initiatives across school life:
- Personalised Wellness Targets – Helping pupils set and achieve wellbeing goals.
- Weekly Wellness Tasks – Encouraging small, consistent steps toward better health.
- Wellness Prefect Support – Providing leadership and inspiration through pupil-led initiatives and expert-led discussions.
EXPERT MEDICAL AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT
Our Wellness Centre is staffed by a team of highly experienced, qualified nurses, supported by a visiting GP. They provide:
- On-Site Medical Care – Treating minor injuries and illnesses
- Routine Vaccinations & Health Checks – Ensuring our pupils stay healthy
- Parental Support & Guidance – Assisting families with medical concerns and advice
Additionally, we collaborate with independent counsellors who offer confidential counselling services to help pupils navigate challenges such as bereavement and personal struggles.
EMPOWERING PUPILS FOR LIFELONG WELLBEING
Our goal is to equip pupils with the tools they need to manage their own wellbeing. We encourage them to:
- develop personal resilience and self-care strategies;
- recognise signs of mental or physical distress; and
- seek help when needed, knowing support is always available.
At Harrogate Ladies’ College, we go beyond traditional pupil support. Our Wellness Centre sets us apart by providing a proactive, compassionate and expert-led approach to pupil health and happiness.
