Wellbeing & Pastoral Care – Private Senior School North Yorkshire

You are always welcome to visit the Pastoral Centre to chat with staff and receive support from our specialist Wellbeing Team.

From the moment you arrive at Queen Ethelburga’s, the Team is ready to support you, whether you are anxious about studying and examinations, or are an international student with culture shock needing help to settle in.

Take The Time To Reflect On Wellbeing

There are six Whole School Awareness Weeks throughout the school year for all students to reflect on key issues surrounding mental health and self-esteem. These Awareness Weeks include digital wellbeing, anti-bullying, wellbeing, equality, spirituality and culture. Each week includes assemblies with guest speakers and the opportunity to run workshops for King’s Magna and Chapter House.

"Leaders foster positive relationships between pupils and staff and amongst pupils, characterised by mutual respect. Pupils feel they are part of a community."
