Wellbeing Warriors
Wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do at SJSJ and we strive to ensure that all children feel safe and happy. The Wellbeing Warriors are a group of compassionate, empathetic children from each year group who have been selected by their peers to be wellbeing representatives for the school. These children care about the wellbeing of others and will work closely with Miss Khaleel to generate ways we can support the children in our school with their mental health. This team will ensure that pupils are talking about their feelings through the zones of regulation, discuss ways we can self-regulate and ensure that wellbeing remains top of everyone’s priority at St John and St James.

What have the Wellbeing Warriors been up to?
Autumn Term
This autumn term , our Wellbeing Warriors are excited to launch the Play Ambassadors project, designed to support younger children in making the most of our OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) playground. Our ambassadors will take on special roles including Play Buddies, Resource Helpers, Calm Corner Guides, and Story and Role-Play Starters.
Each week, the ambassadors will lead and support activities such as helping younger children try new games, using loose parts to build dens or obstacle courses, creating imaginative role-play scenarios, and guiding mindful or calming play. They will also organise mini play challenges, encourage teamwork, and model kindness, inclusion, and safe play.
Through this initiative, older children will develop leadership, empathy, problem solving, and communication skills, while younger children gain confidence, creativity, resilience, and a sense of belonging in the playground. By combining fun, friendship, and mindfulness, the Play Ambassadors project ensures our outdoor spaces are safe, welcoming, and full of opportunity for every child.
