Mental Health and Wellbeing
Welcome to our Mental Health and Wellbeing page.
Our Pastoral Provision will support children through their learning and time at school to enable them to be well rounded individuals who know how to seek support if they are finding aspects of their life difficult.
We aim to enable children to recognise the importance of wellbeing and their own mental health whilst providing them with a toolkit of strategies such as self-regulation and problem-solving skills to take with them to adulthood.
We intend to assist pupils with the skills needed to positively manage their emotions independently by finding a resolution, to enable them to have resilience and become adults who will be robust and thrive in their lives whilst making a positive contribution to society.
