As a school, we recognise how vital positive mental health is for our children. We believe that good
mental health is just as important as good physical health, in order for our pupils to be able to lead
fulfilling lives, which is why we are committed to supporting the health and wellbeing of all our pupils.

We know that children who have positive mental health have improved attendance and punctuality
rates, improved academic performance and a better understanding of healthy relationships.

We aim to equip our pupils with the knowledge, skills, and resilience they need to manage their
emotions, relationships, and challenges effectively. We also recognise the importance of early
intervention and targeted support for pupils who may be struggling with mental health and well-being
issues.

Mental health is taught in school through our explicit teaching approach in our comprehensive Personal,
Social and Health Education (PSHE) curriculum, as well as assemblies throughout the year, and support
from our Pastoral team and Mental Health Support Team (MHST).

We have created a range of interventions and support systems for pupils who may be struggling with
mental health challenges, including personalised support plans which are developed by our Pastoral
Team and referrals to external services.
