Wellbeing

At STAHS, wellbeing and academic excellence are not competing factors – they are two sides of the same coin. We recognise that the young people most able to pursue their educational ambitions, take calculated academic risks and achieve top outcomes are those who feel happy, secure and supported at home and at school. This is why we take our responsibility to nurture and care for our pupils very seriously, alongside providing an environment where students are given the freedom and independence to make – and take responsibility for – their own choices.

During Years 7 to 11 we run the STAHS Skills for Life programme to equip students with the knowledge they need to navigate school life and beyond. The
programme follows three core themes: relationships, health and wellbeing and living in the wider world, and is a combination of statutory curriculum as well as bespoke lessons developed specifically to support STAHS students.

For specialist support, students can access the STAHS Student Hub, a building that houses our multi-faith prayer space, the chaplain, nurses, counsellors, plus our PSHE and learning support teams.

All pupils are in one of four Houses, Julian, Mandeville, Paris and Verulam, and the Houses really are like families within the School. The Form Tutor, Housemistress and Assistant Housemistress are fundamental characters in a STAHS pupil’s life. Alongside our thriving co-curriculum sits our popular House competition programme, led by our fantastic team of Sixth Form House Officers. There really is an event for everyone, from Dance to Debating, Tennis to Trampolining. House spirit runs deep between the reds, blues, yellows and greens as they go head-to-head to win points for the biggest prizes of the year, the Chapman and Clark Cups.
