Wellbeing in School

There are lots of different ways we support children’s wellbeing in school. 

Our PSHE curriculum is a progressive sequence which promotes many aspects of physical, mental and emotional health.

Outside of the curriculum, we provide additional wellbeing opportunities. For example, regular additional physical activity on top of PE lessons, such as the Golden Mile and Go Noodle, promote physical wellness. Linked with these, there are regular mindfulness sessions provided throughout the day.

We have an Early Help offer in school which outlines some of the ways in which we can support families who may be going through some difficult times. Click on the link below to find out more.

At an individual level, we have two ELSAs (Emotional Literacy Support Assistants) in school, who are able to provide more bespoke support for children who may need it. You can find out more about them below.

We run Forest School sessions for all classes throughout the year, and we also run smaller intervention Forest School sessions for some children. There is a range of reasons why children may be chosen for these smaller groups, including but not limited to: anxiety, emotional based school avoidance, bereavement, confidene and self-esteem building.

We also run yoga sessions for small groups. These are to help support children with their mental and emotional wellbeing.

Online Support

Here are some videos from the Reaching Families website. They are aimed at parents of children with Special Educational Needs but have lots of practical and useful advice that is relevant to all children, no matter their level of need.
