Supporting Mental Health and Wellbeing
Supporting Mental Health and Wellbeing
At our school, we believe that positive mental health and wellbeing are essential for children to learn, grow and thrive. We are committed to creating a nurturing, inclusive environment where every child feels safe, valued and supported. Through our curriculum, pastoral care and strong relationships with families, we help children develop resilience, emotional awareness and the confidence to talk about their feelings. Staff are trained to notice when pupils may need extra support, and we work closely with families and external services where needed. Our approach ensures that pupils’ wellbeing is actively promoted, carefully monitored and embedded within school life, helping every child feel ready to learn and succeed.
Below are some links you may find helpful, but please always feel that you can come and speak to either the class teacher, Mrs Sivyer (SENCO) or Mr Fiddy (Acting Head) - or whoever you feel most comfortable with.
