Key quotes from the verification report;

‘Bedford Academy is an excellent school in terms of Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health (EWMH)’

‘Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health is an integral part of the school and its ethos’

‘Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health is strategically evidenced in the school’s development plan and policies and there is a real sense of staff working as a team’.

‘The pupils talked eloquently and clearly about being supported by staff, they were clear about how and where to access help and there appeared to be a genuine openness when talking about EWMH’

‘Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health is not an ‘add on’ at this school, it is part of school life, learning, and it goes beyond the school gates. The school’s core offer, and vision and values statement, describes fully what the school believes in, and it is evident that this is put into action every day, and is referred to as the ‘BA way’.

‘The list of positive practices and interventions supporting EWMH is extensive and comprehensive, both at a universal level and targeted support’
