Positive wellbeing is promoted through the curriculum and other school activities. Through a carefully planned approach to PSHE, our pupils acquire the knowledge and develop the skills and understanding they need to lead confident, healthy, independent lives and become resilient, informed and responsible citizens.

Curricular and Extra-curricular Support

We support the mental health and wellbeing of all pupils through: 

• building strong relationships centered around mutual respect 
• a school ethos which empowers tolerance and respect
• onsite full-time support from our Pupil Mentor
• clear rules, routines, expectations and consequences
• targeted pastoral and learning support
• opportunities for intellectual, physical and expressive development in the classroom
• circle time, social stories and worry boxes
• trained mental health first aiders
• targeted mental health provision from North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare
