Mental Health & Wellbeing

Mental health and Well being is vital in pupils and staff, and is high on our agenda as a school.  We offer a range of therapeutic support for pupils who need extra support with highly trained staff, and all staff across the school take part in regular training around the emotional and mental well being of pupils.  We have trained Mental Health First Aiders in school who are able to support when need is identified.  As a school, we are members of the Charlie Waller Memorial Trust and have access to a range of materials to support mental health and well being. All school staff have received training from the CWMT to support pupils with their mental health. Our curriculum also has a focus on developing pupils’ understanding of how to manage their own well being to support them as they mature, building emotional resilience. Pupil leadership groups such as the Wellbeing Team are there to support children, and activities such as the daily peer massage and mindfulness sessions help support the school ethos of developing mental and emotional well being.

We have a number of things in place in school to help children feel happy and well cared for, and to allow them to discuss their thoughts and feelings.  If you would like to discuss your child’s well being, or need some support with your own, please contact Miss Slingsby, or use the Whisper button at the bottom of any of the website pages to send a message.
