Mental Health and Well-Being Support at Our School

At our school, we are committed to creating a nurturing environment where every child feels safe, valued and supported. We recognise the vital role mental health and emotional well-being play in a child’s learning, confidence and overall development. To ensure all pupils have access to the right support, we offer a wide range of well-being provisions across the school.

Emotional Literacy Support

We are proud to have two trained ELSAs (Emotional Literacy Support Assistants) who work with pupils to develop skills in emotional regulation, resilience, social interaction and self-esteem. Through structured sessions, our ELSAs provide a safe and supportive space for children to explore their feelings and build confidence.

Specialist Well-Being Spaces

Our school features four dedicated sensory rooms, thoughtfully designed to provide calming, therapeutic environments. These spaces help pupils regulate their emotions, reduce anxiety, and re-engage positively with learning. The rooms include a range of sensory tools and resources tailored to meet individual needs.

Therapeutic Interventions

To further support emotional and social development, we offer several evidence-based interventions, including:

• Drawing and Talking Therapy – A child-centred approach that allows pupils to express themselves safely through creative storytelling and drawing.

• Sensory Circuits – A structured series of physical and sensory activities that help children prepare their bodies and minds for learning.

• LEGO Therapy – A collaborative, play-based intervention designed to strengthen communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and social skills.

Our Commitment

We are dedicated to supporting every child’s well-being through early intervention, positive relationships and inclusive practice. By providing a range of emotional and therapeutic support, we aim to ensure that all pupils feel understood, empowered and ready to achieve their full potential.
