A timetabled, weekly PSHE lesson enables us to deliver ‘Jigsaw’, our whole school, consistent approach to Personal, Social and Health Education. It brings these strands together alongside the development of emotional literacy, social skills and spiritual growth in a comprehensive learning scheme.

Our Wellbeing Garden offers a safe, quiet and peaceful space for pupils to chat, relax and enjoy mindfulness activities such as colouring and meditation. Nestled in a corner of the school grounds, this nurturing environment encourages girls to take a break from their busy routines and reconnect with nature. Whether seeking personal reflection or meaningful conversations with friends, the garden provides an ideal setting for emotional wellbeing and mental clarity. The space, fitted out with bean-bags and benches, supports activities designed to promote mindfulness, resilience and calm, fostering a holistic approach to the personal development of each pupil.

“Wonderful, wonderful school. We continue to be extremely happy and most importantly so does our daughter”.

Our school-wide culture of support and understanding ensures that every girl feels seen, heard and valued. From their first days at Maltman’s Green, our pupils are encouraged to foster strong relationships with their peers, teachers and staff, creating a nurturing environment that promotes emotional wellbeing.

By incorporating wellbeing into the fabric of school life, we are making their mental health a priority. With initiatives like the Wellbeing Warriors and Mindfulness Ambassadors, we equip our pupils with essential tools to manage stress, improve focus and build resilience—skills that will serve them well beyond their time at Maltman’s.

At Maltman’s Green, we understand the importance of emotional and mental health in your daughter’s overall success.

Our comprehensive wellbeing initiatives ensure that each girl is not only academically prepared but also emotionally supported, enabling her to thrive in every aspect of her life. Discover how we can help your daughter flourish by scheduling a visit or contacting our admissions team today

I wanted to express my deep felt thanks for the care my daughter has had since nursery. Having three children I have experienced a number of schools, but there is something very special about Maltman’s. My daughter has grown up into a little girl who is happy in her own skin and has oodles of self-belief and confidence. She is quirky at times, but Maltman’s has embraced this and allowed her to become an individual within a safe environment where she has flourished. The pastoral care and sense of well-being at the school is second to none and she has thrived in this kind and caring environment.
