Staff well-being is very important to us and is integral in everything we do. We are a school that lives out it’s values of Kindness, Resilience, Respect and Pride with students, parents, the community and staff. As a member of the Waingels College staff, please find below some of the examples of how we show our commitment to staff workload and well-being:

Working in a modern, light and purposeful environment with state-of-the-art technology and equipment
Printing and photocopying facilities available in all staff areas and a dedicated Reprographics Technician and room
Dedicated staff kitchen/informal social space and formal workspaces in all school zones
All staff tasks and new policies are workload assessed with staff well-being and workload in mind
Staff collaborate on current and proposed new policies and practices
Our feedback policy recognises the need for students to be given direct feedback in a way that does not overburden staff with unnecessary maintenance marking
Reporting and data entry is kept to a minimal to avoid unnecessary burden
Performance Management objectives based on staff development need
CPD is available for all staff at all levels including a thriving internal CPD programme
A reduced school day for students to allow staff to prepare for Parent Consultation Meetings. These are therefore held in the late afternoon rather than late evenings
Our staff absence policy is generous for example with requests to go to our children’s sports days, graduations and loved ones’ funerals
Lunch provided for staff on INSET days
Disaggregated INSET days allocated to afternoon twilight sessions across the academic year
Staff appreciation postcards nominated by peers are displayed on our staff appreciation noticeboard
Half-termly staff appreciation cards distributed as nominated by students
Termly staff tea organised by peers
Staff celebration events such as our Summer BBQ
The Well Being Committee, a team of volunteers, meet once a half-term to raise issues and seek solutions; a free lunch is provided. They also organise a once a month social for staff to informally get together.
Opportunities for staff to organise and attend trips all around the world
