Student Wellbeing
BCS takes a holistic approach to supporting its students, recognizing that every aspect of life matters. The school develops initiatives that help children care for both their physical and mental health.
Health and Happiness at Bournemouth Collegiate School
The school’s philosophy centers on education that extends beyond traditional academics. This includes lessons in personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE) alongside citizenship studies.
BCS has carefully designed this curriculum to build resilience, confidence and life skills in its students. The program runs for one hour weekly, ensuring that both prep and senior students receive consistent, age-appropriate guidance as they develop.
Mental Health and Nutrition: A Dual Focus
Understanding how different aspects of wellbeing connect, Bournemouth Collegiate School has established comprehensive support systems that include dedicated specialists. These professionals play a vital role in maintaining student mental health and form an integral part of the school’s ongoing commitment to student welfare.
Alongside these initiatives, BCS emphasizes nutrition as foundational to a healthy mind. Through its partnership with Holroyd Howe, a leading catering company, BCS offers diverse menus featuring fresh homemade soups, varied salads, vegetarian and vegan options, while carefully managing allergens and dietary requirements.
The school’s commitment to quality shows in its sourcing practices—the vast majority of ingredients come from UK suppliers.
Safety and Community at Bournemouth Collegiate School
Student welfare stands as the top priority for Bournemouth Collegiate School. The school maintains strict safeguarding policies and keeps communication channels open with students, parents and staff to address concerns promptly.
This collaborative approach extends to school dining, where feedback from the community is actively sought to continuously improve meal quality and align it with students’ nutritional needs, particularly those engaged in sports and physical activities.
