We are proud to have achieved the HEALTHY MINDS CHARTERMARK and achieved the GOLD standard.
Knowledge and skills to improve mental health are taught explicitly through our PSHE curriculum but it is also embedded in RE, Science, PE and other curricular areas.
We use the language of mental health frequently to break down stigma and educate children in understanding mental health without fear.
Our PSHE curriculum is progressive and age appropriate so that children can build up their knowledge and understanding. Children understand how mindfulness supports positive mental health and practice techniques.
Our Collective Worship programme also supports children’s mental health, covering themes such as resilience, kindness, celebrating difference, empathy and staying safe.
Our Mental Health Pastoral Team comprises Mrs Proctor, Mrs Petts and Mrs Padgett.
Our Adult Mental Health First Aider is Mrs Petts.
Our Children’s Mental First Aider and Senior Mental Health Lead is Mrs Proctor.
Our Children’s Mental Health Champion is Mrs Petts.
