Wellbeing
We take Wellbeing and Mental Health across our community very seriously. We understand that our students’ wellbeing is important, and that positive mental wellbeing is fundamental to a child’s ability to succeed.
We commit to educating our students about the importance of mental health, and broaden their knowledge and understanding, helping them to effectively manage their own wellbeing in making healthier and more positive choices.
The Pastoral Team provide support to students in their year group in a variety of ways.
Students are encouraged to:
- Connect
- Give to others
- Keep learning
- Value our environment
- Be Mindful
- Be active
Our Pastoral Team work closely with students to identify anyone that may benefit from accessing the following:
- School Therapist
- Mental Health Support Team: My Young Mind Enfield
- Speaking to one of our Emotional Literacy Support Assistants
There are also a variety of resources available to students and parents who may need further support.
