Positive wellbeing is promoted through the curriculum and other school activities. Through a carefully planned approach to PSHE, our pupils acquire the knowledge and develop the skills and understanding they need to lead confident, healthy, independent lives and become resilient, informed and responsible citizens.

Curricular and Extra-curricular Support

We support the mental health and wellbeing of all pupils through: 

• building strong relationships centered around mutual respect 
• a school ethos which empowers tolerance and respect
• onsite dramatherapy
• clear rules, routines, expectations and consequences
• enhanced provision e.g. our sensory room and nurture room 
• targeted pastoral and learning support
• opportunities for intellectual, physical and expressive development in the classroom
• circle time, social stories and worry boxes
• trained mental health first aiders

If you are concerned about your child’s mental wellbeing, please contact the class teacher or head of year..
