Our Wellbeing Rainbow is a graphic representation of our wellbeing strategy – a three-tiered model of support that informs our wellbeing and clinical offer, and places wellbeing at the core of everything we do.
The three tiers follow a continuum of intensity support from Universal, Enhanced to Specialised.

Going the Extra Mile
Although all our schools commit to meeting the same high standards of education and care, they are also empowered to develop their own special character and offer unique facilities and resources.
We also offer further options across our whole organisation that give our children and young people an even wider and more fulfilling experience of life and learning.
Going further with the British Exploring Society
Innovative partnerships help us deliver real impact alongside organisations such as the British Exploring Society (BES). By partnering with BES, we provide young people with the opportunity to take part in expeditions across the world in order to build on their personal skills, discover more about themselves as people, and equip them to be able to work well in team situations.
This collaboration has seen 17 young people undertake a nine-day expedition to the Highlands in Scotland, where highly-skilled professionals and outdoor experts guided them on an expedition, including a variety of tasks for the young people to complete each day.
Following the success of the Highlands trip, young people then had the opportunity to embark on a three-week expedition to either the Peruvian Amazon or the Canadian Yukon in 2019. This trip of a lifetime built on the skills they’d already acquired and provided them with new challenges to conquer.
