Mental Health
Our Wellbeing Team promotes pupils' and staff mental health.
Mrs Kellie Moore was our Senior Metal Health Leader (and was undertaking DfE training for this in Summer Term) but this is being undertaken by Miss Fleming.
Pupil Mental Health & Wellbeing
Pupil Mental Health is everyone's responsibility but is particularly supported by our Engagement Champions. When children need extra support we go to NHS and school funded projects:
- Schools Link Service (starting March 2023) from Future in Mind and
- Mental Health Support Team (MHST)
if the need escalates we can access Child and Adolescent Mental Heath Setvice (CAHMS) or parents can too through their GP.
As a school we have provided the following booklet to all families both here online and also in the envelope drop to homes.
Bereavement and Loss
We are currently evaluating the materials to put here.
