Wellbeing
Events in recent years have brought into even clearer focus the importance of looking after our own and each other's mental health and well-being. In this section you'll find our five ways to wellbeing that are explored with the children over the year in lessons and within assemblies. In addition to this are some of the support available in the local area as well as some ideas and activities that you and your children can do to support well-being at home.
