At our school we aim to:
- Promote and build children's self-esteem
- Encourage children to be confident in themselves
- Help children to develop emotional resilience and manage challenges and setbacks
- Help children to share their worries and understand ways they can do this
- Help children to name, describe and deal with different feelings and emotions
- Support children in forming and maintaining healthy relationships
- Actively teach and promote ways to keep mentally healthy
- Work effectively in partnership with children, parents and support agencies
- Support and work with parents to promote ways of developing and maintaining good mental health
As a school we are here to support you and your child's health and wellbeing. If you have any concerns about your child or another child, please contact Mrs Broome, Mrs Brown or your child's class teacher in person, via email or via calling the school office on 01782 694567.
