Wellbeing

 

We believe that all pupils’ health and wellbeing is a fundamental part of their learning. In order to ensure that all children feel happy and safe within their learning environment, we offer a wide range of daily and weekly opportunities including:-

– Brain breaks throughout the day.
– Sensory breaks & exercises.
– Chillout and bounce rooms.
– Pets: therapy dog, guinea pigs & fish.
– Outdoor learning opportunities.
– Daily self-check ins with Zones of Regulation.
– Weekly PSHE lessons and circle time.

Well-being at our school includes mental and physical health, physical and emotional safety and a feeling of belonging.
By supporting children’s well-being, we enable each and every child to develop their potential and to learn and play creatively.  We endeavour to build pupils’ self esteem and help them to develop a positive ‘growth mindset’ so they can me resilient to challenges and new experiences.

Your child’s teacher should always be your first port of call if you have concerns. The class teacher may then refer to Miss Withers who can organise additional support for your child where necessary.
