Two years ago, 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 well-being and good mental health.
Why does St Chris use STEER Tracking?
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.
Where does this data come from?
Each term, students 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.
Pastoral Care and STEER
We know that students’ ability to self-regulate can impact their academic progress, friendships, well-being, and mental health. The Senior School pastoral and 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.
