Wellbeing assessment

Over the last two weeks al students in KGV (and across ESF) have taken an online wellbeing assessment. Individual reports will be available for students within two week and the school will also receive an overview of the results.

Students are encouraged to talk to their family, friends or tutor about their results. Having conversations about wellbeing, both what is going well and what is not going so well, is a good first step towards improving wellbeing. Please do talk to your child about their results.
