Last year we launched STEER Tracking across the Junior and Senior School, from Years 3 – 12 (G Group to Lower Sixth). STEER Tracking is an evidence-based tool to measure, track and improve how each young person self-regulates four factors which are fundamental to wellbeing and good mental health.

STEER Tracking helps to identify hidden social-emotional risks that might otherwise go undetected. Teachers can then proactively target support for students who may need it, recognising that early intervention can help young people to develop healthy behaviours. 

Each term, students from Year 3 (G Group) to Year 12 (Lower Sixth) will complete a STEER Check In: a short series of questions that tracks how each student is steering or making choices in four key areas for healthy development.

We know that students’ ability to self-regulate can impact their academic progress, friendships, wellbeing, and mental health. The Junior School teaching teams use STEER as an additional tool, to help monitor the wellbeing and mental health of our students. It does not replace the excellent pastoral care already in place at St Chris.  

Further information will be sent to parents/carers at the start of term however if you would like to find out more now, please visit the STEER website.
