We are committed to supporting the emotional health and well-being of our pupils, parents and staff. Everyone experiences life challenges that can make us vulnerable, and anyone may need additional emotional support. Positive mental health is everybody’s business and we all have a role to play.  

For our pupils:

We are committed to supporting all pupils to be healthy and happy, regardless of their starting point. Our curriculum is designed to prepare children for life-long physical and emotional well-being.

We encourage pupils to lead an active lifestyle and to be aware of the importance of a healthy balanced diet and regular physical activity.

We give pupils opportunities to develop strategies and skills for positive well-being, developing self-esteem, successful relationships and a sense of belonging. Children explore self-awareness and managing emotions through a mindful curriculum.

We offer different levels of support:

Universal Support- To meet the needs of all our pupils  through our overall ethos and our wider curriculum. For instance by developing skills to manage personal well being.

Additional support- For those who may have short term needs and those who may have been made vulnerable by life experiences such as bereavement.  

Targeted support-  For pupils who need more differentiated support and resources or specific targeted interventions such as nurture groups or intervention with a Learning Mentor.

Specialist support- Referral to external specialist services like CAMHS for pupils with highly specialist needs.
