Waingels Staff Wellbeing
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.
