Crocus Wellbeing

The Pastoral Hub (B16)

The Pastoral Hub in B16 is part of Crocus Wellbeing at SWCHS. The Pastoral Hub’s core function is to support the academic reintegration of pupils back into the school whilst offering a calm environment for them to work. Pupils are able to express their feelings without judgement and they can also access key wellbeing support mechanisms from the Learning and Recovery staff who run the Pastoral Hub on a daily basis. Short-term therapeutic interventions are available for Years 7 – 13 and referrals can be made for the Pastoral Hub through the Year office.

‘B16 allows you to get the work done in a calmer and what feels like a safer environment.’ 

‘It gives me the opportunity to withdraw myself from a situation when I feel in a position of bad wellbeing.’ 

‘It is a space to relax and calm down.’ 

‘If I become upset or things become too much then it’s a safe place I know can help me.’ 

‘It really helps me to get some head space and take some quieter time away from lessons, which benefits my mental health.’
