Proactive Wellbeing Support

Proactive supervision in psychology support involves regular, preventive check-ins and reflective sessions designed to help staff manage work-related stress, build resilience, and maintain mental wellbeing before challenges escalate. It is a supportive space to discuss professional experiences, develop coping strategies, and enhance overall wellbeing.

Professional Book Club

Aligned with Ajuga’s vision to be a Lighthouse School for Trauma Responsive Education, the Book Club:

• Runs twice a term and is voluntary for all staff to join.
• Fosters a culture of lifelong learning and reflective practice.
• Enhances understanding of neuroscience, complex trauma, and effective educational practice.
• Promotes team connection, collaboration, and staff wellbeing.

Dedicated Wellbeing week

At Ajuga, we prioritise both professional development and staff wellbeing. Each term, we hold a dedicated Wellbeing Week, during which whole-school meetings are paused to focus on team connection, self-care, and wellbeing initiatives.

Small teams

At Ajuga, we are fortunate to work in supportive, small teams. Each class includes up to seven students, a teacher, and a School Learning and Support Officer (SLSO), with additional support from an Assistant Principal. We value regular check-ins, open communication, and reflective practice, fostering empathy, psychological safety, and relational trust—allowing us to model these essential skills for our students.
