Health, safety and Well-being: Nurturing Healthy and Happy Pupils

At Bromsgrove Cambodia, we place a strong emphasis on the health and well-being of our pupils, ensuring they are supported physically, emotionally, and mentally to thrive in their academic journey and personal development. Our holistic approach is guided by international best practices and UK standards, creating an environment that fosters wellness and happiness for every child.

Key Areas of Focus

Pupil Safety and Security

At Bromsgrove Cambodia, it is one of our top priorities to provide a secure and safe environment for all our pupils. Our advanced safety systems are designed to ensure that pupils are accounted for at all times, supporting both their day-to-day activities and their well-being during unforeseen events.

Seamless Attendance Tracking

We use innovative technology to streamline the process of recording attendance, ensuring that each pupil is quickly and accurately accounted for at the start of the school day and throughout the day. This system helps us monitor pupil locations within the school, making it easier to ensure their safety while they move through different areas of the premises.

Real-Time Location Monitoring

Our school employs systems that allow staff to monitor the whereabouts of pupils during school hours. Whether in classrooms, hallways, or outdoor spaces, we can ensure that pupils are where they should be, enhancing security and helping to prevent any incidents of pupils being unaccounted for.

Emergency Evacuation Readiness

In the event of an emergency, our systems help facilitate quick and efficient evacuations. Staff can access real-time data to verify that all pupils are safely accounted for and in the appropriate areas, ensuring a smooth and coordinated response. This preparedness is critical to the safety of everyone on the premises during unexpected situations.

Managing Incursions and Security Threats

Our systems provide an additional layer of protection against potential security threats. In the unlikely event of an incursion or security breach, we are able to immediately assess the situation and monitor pupil locations, helping staff manage the safety of the school community while ensuring an appropriate response is initiated.

Security-Controlled Entrances and Exits

We have implemented secure, monitored entrances and exits throughout the school to control access to the premises. These entry points are equipped with advanced security measures and security staff ensure that only authorised individuals can enter or leave the school. This helps prevent unauthorised access and ensures that pupils are protected at all times, especially during arrival and departure.

Parental Peace of Mind

We understand that child safety is a priority for parents. Our technology enables us to provide real-time updates, keeping parents informed of their child’s movements and confirming their arrival and departure from school. This connection ensures that families are always in the loop regarding their child’s safety.

Healthy Food Programmes and School Canteen

Our school canteen offers a diverse menu of freshly prepared, nutritious meals that meet high dietary standards – low salt, low sugar, healthy fats.

We provide a 3-course balanced meal, with options that include plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to support growing bodies and minds.

Nutrition Education

Incorporated into the curriculum, nutrition education teaches pupils the importance of making healthy food choices and understanding the impact of diet on physical and mental well-being. Pupils participate in activities such as food preparation, understanding food labels, and discussions on sustainability in food practices.

Dedicated Nap Rooms

For younger pupils, we provide dedicated nap rooms equipped with comfortable bedding and a calm environment. Rest is essential for cognitive and emotional development, and we ensure pupils have the opportunity to recharge during the day.

School Counsellors and Mental Health Support

Our professional school counsellors provide individual and group support to promote emotional well-being.

• One-on-One Sessions: Tailored support for pupils experiencing stress, anxiety, or other challenges.
• Happiness Scale: A tool to regularly gauge pupil well-being and identify areas for intervention or improvement.
• Mindfulness and Resilience Programmes: Activities such as yoga, meditation, and resilience workshops help pupils develop coping mechanisms and emotional balance.

Hygiene and Cleanliness

We maintain high standards of cleanliness across the campus to ensure a safe and healthy learning environment. Regular handwashing, sanitisation stations, and awareness campaigns reinforce good hygiene habits.

Parental Engagement

We involve parents in promoting health and well-being through regular updates, workshops, and resources. A strong partnership between school and home supports the holistic development of every child.
