What we do: -
We commit to supporting positive mental health and wellbeing for our whole school community. Mental health and emotional wellbeing have equal importance to that of physical wellbeing.
Children’s mental health is integral to their overall wellbeing. Positive mental health or otherwise will affect their learning and achievement. We will always strive to continue our school’s mental health provision. This will include staff training and updates. We will provide additional wellbeing education for our pupils. Wellbeing support will be included in lessons, assemblies, community visitors’ and bespoke school Mental Health days.
We all have an important role to play in supporting children’s mental health. We teach them how to recognise, manage their emotions and access the support they need.
We will provide a nurturing and supportive environment for all. We want our whole school community to experience: -
- Feeling valued and respected
- A sense of belonging and safety
- An ability to talk openly and in confidence about problems, without any suggestion of stigma.
