Wellbeing 

We are a trailblazing school with the West Berkshire Mental Health Support Team (MHST), enabling us to access training, advice and support from a team of 10 mental health professionals. We understand that in order to learn, children need to be well in all senses of the word. Having focused on healthy bodies and healthy relationships, over the past few years we have been working on helping children develop healthy minds too. Using techniques like yoga, structured breathing, visualisation, relaxation and mindfulness, we aim to provide children with a range of tools to help them manage their emotions and deal with stressful situations. We encourage children to talk about how they are feeling and acknowledge that it is quite usual to feel a range of emotions and these will come and go throughout the day.

Our Senior Mental Health Lead is Mrs Patterson - please scroll down for resources.
