Staff wellbeing

At Ormiston Park Academy, staff wellbeing is a core part of who we are and how we work. We are deeply committed to creating a professional environment where every member of staff feels valued, supported, and able to flourish.

Our dedicated Wellbeing Team leads a thoughtful programme of activities designed to bring colleagues together, nurture connections, and offer a moment of calm within the demands of the school term. Once every half‑term, we host a Wellbeing Wednesday, providing staff with the chance to pause, recharge, and enjoy time together in a relaxed and welcoming environment.

Our Wellbeing Wednesday programme invites staff to enjoy a range of relaxing and enjoyable activities, from crochet, henna art and wellbeing colouring to gaming and other creative opportunities. Refreshments, warm conversation, and a genuine sense of togetherness make these moments a highlight of the week for many colleagues.

This commitment to wellbeing sits at the heart of our ethos of Believe and Achieve. By championing staff wellbeing as a priority, we ensure that our team feels supported, valued and empowered to give their very best. It is a defining feature of life at Ormiston Park Academy and a key part of what makes our academy a welcoming place for current and future colleagues.
