Wellbeing

Through the CLC Wellbeing Programme, we help students develop the skills and resilience they need to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Weekly Wellbeing, PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic) and Enrichment sessions are tailored to each age group, shaped by their needs, and delivered by staff in partnership with expert speakers.

Our 24‑hour Medical Centre and medical teams play a key role in supporting pupils’ physical and emotional wellbeing.

The centre acts as a satellite unit of the local Overton Park Surgery, where our boarders are registered as patients. Local GPs are on-site five days a week, with additional support available outside regular hours. We offer round‑the‑clock in‑patient care during term time, with comfortable facilities and freshly prepared food.

The Medical Centre Team is led by the Head of Medical Health and Welfare and Clinical Nurse Manager, supported by specialists in areas including Travel Health, Asthma, Emergency Medicine, Respiratory, Paediatrics, as well as Trauma and Resuscitation. 

We maintain strong working relationships with local NHS and private services, including CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services), the Health Security Agency and Nuffield Health, and offer additional Physiotherapy Clinics.

Pupils with chronic conditions receive ongoing support, while our borders benefit from annual health checks. We also provide a full range of immunisations, vaccinations and travel medicines, including Flu vaccinations.

Our Mental Health Team works collaboratively with pupils, Houseparents and parents, offering tailored, confidential support. 

The team is managed by the Head of Medical Health & Welfare in partnership with the Head of Learning Support. Three Therapists provide targeted interventions, while an Emotional Health Support Nurse delivers low‑level support for individuals or small groups. A Clinical Psychologist advises on more complex cases and offers pre‑screening for Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD), including AD(H)D and ASC.

We offer high‑quality food and nutrition, sourcing the freshest ingredients and working with suppliers who partner with Nutritics to ensure compliance, optimise nutritional profiles and strengthen allergen awareness.

We offer a variety of options for all diets, including a fresh daily snack selection with a strong focus on protein.

All meat served at College is Red Tractor certified, meeting rigorous standards for animal welfare, food safety and sustainability.

We also gather regular feedback from pupils through surveys and comment books to improve our provision.

We respect all world faiths, many of which are represented in CLC, and welcome students from all religious backgrounds.

We encourage our community to consider and explore beliefs, values, spirituality and moral principles in an open climate of tolerance and respect.

The College Quiet Room is a place where students (and staff) of all faiths and worldviews can go for quiet reflection at any time.
