The wellbeing journey can be seen in our
- We respect and uphold our central belief that all pupils are uniquely made in God's own image for a specific role in this world. It is entrusted to all the staff of Maricourt to ensure that all pupils realise their full potential and develop as confident individuals.
- All staff are committed to providing students with a solid foundation that allows students to have a healthy heart and a healthy mind and have the confidence and resilience to continue with this mindset into their adult life.
- Coping strategies, positive mindset, resilience training, Christian meditation and prayer are an important part of our school life. We have a designated Wellbeing Centre, Wellbeing Hub and Chapel.
- The pastoral support system is a strength of the school with each year group having a progress leader and assistant progress leader. We have a school chaplain, learning mentors, Mental Health Practitioner from the Sefton Mental Health team, a school nurse, careers advisor, SENDco, a number of designated safeguarding leads, SLT wellbeing lead and experienced form tutors.
- We offer termly interventions to support, educate and raise awareness around key issues identified per year group. We work closely with partner agencies such as Everton in the Community and LFC Onside who provide group and one to one intervention in school.
- The Sefton Mental Health Team offer 6-8 week clinical, evidence based support particularly for students experiencing persistent low level worries, anxiety or low mood. This takes place in our wellbeing centre on a weekly basis during term time, and continues in the Thornton Family Wellbeing centre during school holidays.
