For Children
Who can I talk to at school?
If you have a concern about the wellbeing of your child, the first person to talk to is their class teacher. Making them aware of your worries allows them to support your child throughout the school day. They can also signpost you to other people across the school if needed.
We also have two mental health leads at school, who have both undertaken training in this role – Mrs Clements and Mrs Hall. Mental health leads work to develop the whole school approach to mental health and wellbeing.
Mrs Newcombe is our Home School Liaison Worker. She has undertaken training to become the school’s Emotional Literacy Support Assistant (ELSA) and offers intervention based on referrals from class teachers.
