Factors to consider when relocating For families on a relocation move, Mr Moore has a word of advice.


“Moving around has all the benefits but it also has disadvantages insofar as you make your good friends and then you’re uprooted and go somewhere completely different,” he said. “Does that build resilience or cause uncertainty and drain confidence? I don’t know. I suspect a bit of both.” While parents can be reassured of a school’s quality and academic


standards through widely published performance statistics and accreditations from organisations such as the CIS, NAIS and COBIS, there are no Kitemarks to show that a school gives student wellbeing its due consideration. Something that Mr Moore believes will have to change in the future. “There aren’t any standards to adhere to and there should be. It’s


something that the charity that I work with – The Charlie Waller Memorial Trust – has been thinking about.” The Wellbeing Award for Schools (developed by the National


Children’s Bureau in the UK) goes some way along the road. The framework recognises outstanding work being done to promote mental health and wellbeing within school communities across England and this is something that Tanglin Trust School in Singapore is working towards. John Ridley, the school’s director of learning explains, “Many of


the challenges facing our students, and indeed all of us in the future, will be emotional in nature rather than physical or intellectual. This has led us to examine how we react to mental health issues and how we work proactively to prevent challenges developing into a crisis.”


In addition to professional support, the school teaches a range of strategies from the field of Positive Psychology and has committed to working towards the Wellbeing Award for Schools. The advice for now is to ask any prospective school about its


wellbeing strategies – at the very least they should be mindful of stressful pinch points, such as exam season. But watch this space for the development of universal standards. The UK government announced a University Mental Health Charter in June this year, which seeks to address the issue at university. As part of the charter, universities will be rewarded if they demonstrate making student and staff mental health a university-wide priority and deliver improved student mental health and wellbeing outcomes. “We want mental health support for students to be a top priority


for the leadership of all our universities,” said universities minister, Sam Gyimah. “Progress can only be achieved with their support – I expect them to get behind this important agenda as we otherwise risk failing an entire generation of students.” Many institutions are still in the early stages of tackling a growing


problem but it is reassuring to see schools becoming proactive. In the meantime, it’s likely that student wellbeing will shape school practice and curricula for the foreseeable future.
