How Abbey College Cambridge builds confidence, balance, and belonging

Finding the right balance between study, health, and personal growth has never been more important.

Dr Ellen Hesse, Principal at Abbey College Cambridge, emphasised the importance of wellbeing and explained how a holistic approach lies at the heart of her school’s ethos.

She said: “The keyword we emphasise when supporting our young people and staff is balance.

“True balance means getting the different aspects of our daily lives right, and having a wide range of strategies available to address challenges that may negatively affect our wellbeing.

“We encourage everyone to consider wellbeing in a holistic way, recognising the importance of emotional, physical, technological, academic, future, and global health - all of which need equal attention.”
