Vision statement
In periods of darkness we can only wait for the sun to reappear' St Julie Billiart.
At St Julie’s we aim to be the sun for our community, actively promoting students and staff emotional wellbeing and mental health.
We provide a safe and supportive environment where all are welcomed and accepted. We work with students, staff, and parents to develop the culture within our school where wellbeing and mental health are recognised as everyone’s business!

- Student wellbeing ambassadors nominated from each year group
- Staff training and CDP
- Staff wellbeing INSET day

- Currently developing wellbeing spaces for pupils which include a cool down and sensory room
