Student health team

The student health team is an important part of the school's overall structure and is made up of skilled professionals who work together to promote pupils' health and wellbeing. The team provides a varied, holistic approach to meeting different needs and challenges.

School psychologist

The school psychologist provides expertise in the psychological aspects of pupils' development and learning. Through psychological assessments and interventions, the school psychologist supports pupils who may have specific needs in this area. The school psychologist also works with teachers and parents to create a favourable environment for pupils' mental health. Our school psychologist is an external consultant brought in as needed, allowing the school to draw on their expertise when required.

Led by the principal

The principal plays a central role as the leader of the student health team. By providing guidelines, resources and support, the principal enables effective work and collaboration within the team. The principal is also responsible for integrating the student health perspective into the school's overall strategies and decisions.

This forms our varied and coordinated student health team, which extends beyond teaching to support pupils at different levels and ensure a safe and healthy school environment. By working together, the team can build a complete picture of pupils' needs and contribute to an inclusive and welcoming school environment.

Special needs teacher

The special needs teacher works closely with class teachers on assessment, classroom adaptations and follow-up for pupils who need more support in a subject. That may mean extra practice in reading and writing, structure and study technique, or finding the right level for a pupil who needs greater challenge.

How to get in touch

First contact always goes through the class teacher or the principal, who brings the matter to the team. You can also email info@sweintschool.com and the school will suggest a time. Pupils themselves can turn to any adult at the school when they need to talk to someone.

Confidentiality and cooperation with home

Matters raised in student health work are handled with respect for the pupil's and the family's privacy, and information is shared only with those who need it in order to help. Guardians are involved in measures concerning their own child. If a pupil needs care or assessment outside school we help point the way, but the school does not provide healthcare.

Preventive work

Much of student health is about what happens before problems arise: safety during breaks, group-building work in classes, clear routines at the start of school and conversations about how we treat each other. Read more about how we welcome new families on our community page.
