Mental Health, Wellbeing and Early Help
On this page you will be able to find what we do in school to support the mental health and wellbeing of all our children.
Our school value of ‘Belonging’ is central to our work as a school as we aim to ensure that every child is safe, happy and secure.
We have a Pastoral Care Team who:
Provide advice and support to staff, parents and children
Take the lead on and work with other staff to co-ordinate whole school activities to promote positive mental health
Keep staff up-to-date with information about how to support families and children
Make referrals and signpost parents to support
Manage the Early Help Process and our internal support programmes
Our pastoral team consists of:
SENCO and Inclusion Leader – Ali Lloyd
Our DSL Team
ELSA (Emotional Literacy Support Assistant)
Personal Development Curriculum Leader
Online Safety Co-Ordinator
Our Circle of Support
