Our trained mental health lead in school is Mrs Taylor. If you have any concerns about your child's mental health, please contact your child's class teacher in the first instance. You are also welcome to request an appointment with both their teacher and Mrs Taylor, should concerns continue.
We work with a number of agencies and organisations to tailor support to children's needs. See links to two of our closest partners below:
CLAYTON & WHITTLE FAMILY CENTRE:
COMPASS BLOOM:
We have built a partnership with an organisation called Compass Bloom. They offer support to strengthen approaches to mental health and wellbeing. They are able to offer small group and 1:1 support for children who are struggling to manage certain emotions. They also offer consultation phone calls with parents who feel that they need help to support their child’s mental health. Contact details can be found below. Please also look out for flyers advertising webinars for parents. As ever, if you have any serious concerns about your child’s mental health, please get in touch. Through a private conversation, we will be able to discuss and agree which avenue of support is suitable for your circumstances.
TEACHING POSITIVE CONNECTIONS:
As well as providing high quality staff training, TPC have helped us to create a school environment that is able to support children's wellbeing and manage behaviour in a positive and supportive way. Thanks to generous donations from parents and the Luke Bennett Foundation, we have created a nurture room, known as 'The Snug'. This helps to create a calming environment where staff and professionals are able to connect with children in a caring way to help manage emotions and behaviours. Our aim is to replicate this across school. We have been awarded a Stage 1 seal from TPC. See seal and images of the space below:
