Children's wellbeing and mental health

In school we support children with their wellbeing in a variety of ways:

• We teach PSHE weekly using the Jigsaw programme with a focus on exploring feelings :

• We use the 5 point scale visual to support children to recognise how they are feeling.
• For some children who have more significant emotional or mental health difficulties we use ELSA support. - see separate page
• We can put in place a weekly catch up with a member of staff.
• Support from our Safeguarding Coordinator - Karen Harper.
• Time with Ozzy the dog.
• A mentor from St James Church - TLG.
• A referal to an outside agency.
