Mental Health
Positive mental health and wellbeing is just as important as physical health. We aim to promote positive wellbeing and mental health for children, staff and families in our school. Mental health includes our emotional, psychological and social wellbeing. It can affect how we behave, think and feel.
Lynn Rooney is our senior mental health lead, and Fiona Ritson is our mental health first aider. Mental health and wellbeing is a standing item at our staff and our governor meetings, to support staff in our school.
We know each child in our school incredibly well and ensure that we maintain an open and caring dialogue with each one about how they are and whether they have any worries or concerns or need any support with their mental health.
