Wellbeing Wednesday

Connecting, Learning, and Growing Together

At Norbury Manor Primary School, we believe that wellbeing is at the heart of learning. Our school motto, "Learners today, leaders tomorrow, make every moment count!" perfectly encapsulates our commitment to supporting our pupils' mental health and personal development.

Our Wellbeing Journey

On 1 May, we proudly participated in Croydon Council's inaugural Wellbeing Wednesday, an innovative initiative that aligns beautifully with our school values of:

Resilience: Facing challenges with determination
Empathy: Understanding and supporting one another
Peace: Creating a secure environment for learning
Community: Working together and caring for each other

The Five Ways to Wellbeing

Inspired by the Croydon Wellbeing Way, our pupils explored five key actions to boost mental health:

Connect
- Building meaningful relationships
Be Active
- Engaging in physical and mental exercise
Take Notice
