Chertsey & Addlestone share how they work together to protect wellbeing
As we approach the end of another term, I am delighted to share this latest edition of Bourne360, which gives a glimpse of both school life across the Trust and the exceptional achievements of our students, which never cease to fill us with pride.
In this issue, each cluster showcases a different aspect of our rich curriculum. Our Epsom schools highlight their vibrant approach to the arts, demonstrating how creative expression enriches learning from Reception through to secondary level. The Woking cluster provides fascinating insights into curriculum enhancement, where immersive experiences and realworld connections are transforming traditional learning. Meanwhile, our Chertsey and Addlestone schools share their innovative wellbeing initiatives, underlining our commitment to nurturing both academic success and personal development. The Hampshire cluster demonstrates remarkable community spirit, showcasing how strong partnerships enhance educational experiences, while our Richmond schools explore the theme of belonging, revealing how inclusive environments help every child thrive.
Importantly, across all clusters, we witness students actively shaping their educational journey through meaningful engagement rather than simply participating in it
I am thrilled to announce that we have welcomed Kings as a full member to our Trust family and I would also like to extend our warmest congratulations to Nonsuch Primary on their recent Ofsted success
Finally, as we conclude this term, I would like to express my thanks to our colleagues, governors and families Your unwavering dedication to our pupils continues to inspire. You have each played a vital role in making this term successful and I sincerely hope you enjoy a welldeserved and restful break.
Warm regards

Congratulations to everyone for such wonderful and important work!
Our schools across Chertsey and Addlestone are placing student wellbeing at the heart of their offer through creative initiatives and supportive environments. Here's a glimpse into their inspiring work.
Student leaders shape wellbeing at Chertsey Chertsey High’soutstanding year11student leadership team hasbrilliantly championedpeer wellbeing,forging anexciting partnership with JubileeHighSchool,including innovative leadership coaching.
Theirinaugural collaborativeconferencein January sparkledwithcreativity asstudents enthusiastically sharedideasandcrafted improvementstrategieswhiledeveloping an inspiring leadership handbook toempowerfuture studentleaders.
Their dynamic 'student voice' initiative continues to gather peer insights and presents impactful wellbeing proposals to the leadership team and, in partnership with Mr Gardner, this term students are creating the ground-breaking CHS Wellbeing Charter and an eagerly anticipated Cultural Day celebrating diversity

Mental Health Week shines at Jubilee Jubilee High enthusiastically participated in Children's Mental Health Week in February, embracing the theme ‘Know Yourself, Grow Yourself’ as part of their wellbeing philosophy - ‘We picture a school community where every student and member of staff feels empowered to be themselves, belong to a supportive community and become well-rounded, self-assured individuals’.
Students took part in a thoughtfully designed programme including assemblies, daily tutor-led activities exploring emotions and interactive lunchtime workshops, while mental health themes featured in subject lessons and period 5 allowed students to choose their own activities, supporting their personal needs. The enthusiasm shown by students during these activities filled staff with pride and reinforced Jubilee’s belief that positive wellbeing truly is ‘everyone's business.’
Holistic wellbeing at Pyrcroft Grange
Pyrcroft Grange’s comprehensive approach to wellbeing considers all aspects of development - creating an environment where children feel safe and valued.
During Mental Health Week, students explored the ‘Know Yourself, Grow Yourself’ theme through discussions, calming yoga sessions and expressive drama activities, alongside their daily wellbeing programme, including support groups led by qualified ELSAs and Paddy, the wellbeing dog, who brightens the day and provides comfort to children needing emotional support.
Multi-layered support at Sayes
Sayes Court has created an impressive network of wellbeing support, including a dedicated Relational Support Worker (who offers a safe space for students to process emotions while building confidence through play-based interactions), Bailey the therapy dog, who visits weekly with his handler Rob, a trained counsellor and enhanced outdoor spaces with new playground equipment, trained Playground Monitors and a studentrequested ‘chill-out zone’
During Mental Health Week, students explored emotional awareness through ‘Inside Out’, complementing their zones of regulation framework, alongside additional interventions like emotion coaching to ensure every child receives appropriate support and feels a sense of belonging.
Over at Philip Southcote, they implement the flexible Thrive approach to support emotional and social development. By building secure relationships and providing positive experiences, Thrive helps students to feel safe, supported and ready to learn.
Each class works toward shared Thrive targets, ranging from exploring perspectives to understanding brain function in various situations. Weekly lessons focus on essential skills like resilience, mindfulness, teamwork and reflection.
This term, students have been exploring the concept of the ‘Window of Tolerance’ - identifying when they're in an optimal state for learning and sharing personal strategies for maintaining emotional balance.
As our Chertsey & Addlestone schools demonstrate, wellbeing isn't just an add-on - it's fundamental to helping our students thrive academically, socially and emotionally.
In our Epsom family of schools, artistic expression takes countless forms, from traditional mediums to innovative approaches, our students are developing skills that extend far beyond the art room.

Cultural exploration through art appears prominently at Meadow Primary, where students recently participated in a Chinese New Year plate painting workshop. This hands-on experience allowed children to discover traditions while creating meaningful keepsakes, funded generously by the school's PTFA.
At West Ewell Primary, artistic techniques are being explored across year groups Year 3 students experimented with charcoal markmaking, using various tools to create different effects. Meanwhile, year 2 combined technology and traditional painting designing London skylines digitally before applying their knowledge of colour theory to create stunning final pieces
The performing arts brought the Auriol Junior School community together for their spring performance at Epsom Playhouse (following months of preparation across drumming, dance, and drama clubs) with over 100 children entertaining an audience of 250 family members and friends.
Nonsuch Primary celebrated diverse talents through their school talent show, featuring everything from singing and dancing to magic and DJing, while The Mead Infant School's youngest artists focused on developing foundational skills - year 1 creating 3D paper sculptures and year 2 designing print tiles using simple lines and shapes
Across our schools, arts education isn't just about creating beautiful works - it's about critical thinking, self-expression and the confidence to bring imaginative ideas to life.
Across our Richmond cluster, schools are creating environments where every student feels valued, connected and empowered to contribute meaningfully to their community. Through innovative initiatives and thoughtful leadership, these schools demonstrate how belonging forms the foundation for both academic success and personal wellbeing.

Twickenham School has established meaningful connections through their paired reading programme with Twickenham Primary Academy. This six-week initiative not only enhances reading skills but builds relationships between students of different ages. The school further strengthened literary bonds by launching a book review competition with Teddington, encouraging students to engage with literature while connecting across schools.
Student voice features prominently in Twickenham's approach to belonging. The Student Council has successfully influenced school policy, presenting peer-generated solutions about lunchtime routines that were adopted by senior leadership. This emphasis on student agency creates authentic ownership of the school community The library's diverse collection of books representing various cultural perspectives further supports inclusion, while the popular Games Club provides a space where students build connections through friendly competition
At The Matthew Arnold School, belonging extends beyond the classroom to include all staff members. The canteen team creates a welcoming atmosphere through seasonal celebrations and thoughtful gestures, such as preparing favourite foods for year 11 students during revision periods. The school's international outlook was showcased when they welcomed 36 South Korean students for a cultural exchange - with Matthew Arnold students serving as buddies, introducing their visitors to British culture and values through shared lessons and experiences - creating crosscultural connections that expanded everyone's sense of community.
Hopescourt School celebrated a significant milestone this term as Student Council representatives participated in the steel signing ceremony for their permanent school site, symbolising their role in shaping the school's future and the importance of student voice and shared responsibility.
At Hampton High, fostering strong, trusting relationships is central to their approach to inclusion. As part of their CPD, staff are completing the Attachment Aware Schools Award, embedding a traumainformed approach across the school. By deepening their understanding of how past experiences shape students' ability to form connections, the school is ensuring that every young person feels secure, valued, and ready to learn
Through these thoughtful initiatives, our Richmond schools demonstrate that belonging isn't just a conceptit's a daily practice that empowers students to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally within supportive communities that value their voices and contributions.
Across our Woking schools, innovative experiences are enriching student learning far beyond traditional classroom boundaries. These carefully designed opportunities connect academic concepts with real-world applications, creating memorable moments that deepen understanding and inspire curiosity.
