Healthy Mind and Pupil Wellbeing

At All Saints, the wellbeing of our pupils is at the heart of all that we do.

We have trained a number of staff to develop their expertise and understanding of children’s mental health and wellbeing.

Mrs Bolton and Mrs Bigg  have gained accreditation for being Youth Mental Health First Aiders. Mrs Lamb has undertaken Senior Leader Mental Health training.

Mrs Bigg is also a designated Emotional Learning Support Assistant (ELSA).

Staff have a key role in working with children who may experience anxiety, issues with self-esteem and resilience and who may need adult support to help them deal with wellbeing issues on an ongoing basis or from time to time.

At present, children are identified by staff and support is put in place in consultation with parents. In addition to this work, we also offer 1:1 and small group nurture sessions.

If you feel that your child is experiencing anxiety or you are concerned with their emotional wellbeing, then please do get in touch and we can look at support that we are able to put into place, either through nurture group sessions or from Mrs Bigg in her ELSA role.
