emotional health & Wellbeing

We are committed to the wellbeing of children and staff.  Mrs Clay is our wellbeing lead and mental health champion.

All teachers have had 'raising achievement through mental well-being' training and there is an action plan to develop positive mental health for both staff and children.

Pastoral and Welfare Leader:  Mrs. Clay is in every day and her role is to support families through education and acts as a key point of contact for parents in all matters relating to student welfare and wellbeing including school attendance, behaviour and safeguarding. 

Pastoral Teacher: Mrs. Lawes works Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and her is to provide support directly to the children and will be running nurture groups and acts as a liaison officer as well.
