Mental Health & Wellbeing
We are PROUD to be committed to Positive Mental Health and Wellbeing!
What will my child learn about Mental Health and Wellbeing?
This section is currently being updated.
Our school team focus on teaching children about how our brain works and how this can affect our mental health and wellbeing in positive ways as well as challenges.
We use a variety of resources in school, with support from the Mental Health Team, to educate and support all children of all ages.
