How to access the right help when you need it

If you are experiencing family difficulties, please seek an opportunity to discuss your concerns with someone you know such as family and friends, your GP or other health professional, or staff in school

You could also search on the Talk Community Directory for information on a wide range of areas

The Designated Safeguarding Lead in school is Mrs Williams

The Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead is Miss Hoskins

The Mental Health and Wellbeing Lead is Miss Griffiths

Mrs Lewis is also a trained Emotional Literacy Support Assistants (ELSAs). She has been trained by a team of Educational Psychologists to support the emotional wellbeing of our children and is able to work with individual children or those in small groups to deliver bespoke interventions tailored to the child's need or present situation. These sessions help to explore emotional literacy (being to express emotions), what it means to have positive mental health, build social skills and develop emotional resilience and wellbeing

Behaviour Support:

All children are supported by our behaviour policy. We will discuss any concerns we have with you and establish the best plan to support your child with any behaviour-focused targets. We may also involve outside agencies to provide advice and support for you and staff in school

School Nurse: 

We can access additional support through our school nurse. Referrals can be made from the school or by you to seek help for anxiety, mental health, weight gain, or any other concerns you have about your child

CAMHs:

We work alongside this professional team who support Child and Adolescent Mental Health services. Your child's GP can also make a referral for their support

Attendance:

This is everyone's responsibility. Every child whose attendance falls below 95% is carefully monitored and support offered. Children who arrive after the registers close at 8.50am will be marked late. After 9.00am, children will be marked with an unauthorised absence. Children with ten or more unauthorised absences may be fined by the Local Authority

PSHE and RSE:

Our school delivers a well-structured Personal, Social, Heath and Economics curriculum alongside Relationship and Sex Education. These further support the children's understanding of how to keep themselves safe. It also broadens their understanding of strategies to develop their resilience, as well as their awareness of their mental health and approaches to keep this aspect of their lives healthy
