Wellbeing and Mental Health

Welcome to our Wellbeing area!

At Greasley Beauvale Primary School, we are committed to supporting the positive mental health and wellbeing of our whole school community. We believe that mental health and wellbeing is just as important to our lives as physical health. We know that everyone experiences life challenges that can make us vulnerable and at times, anyone may need additional emotional support. Our view is that positive mental health is in everybody’s interest and that we all have a role to play.  

 

 At our school we:

  • help children to understand their emotions and feelings better                             
  • ensure children feel comfortable sharing any concerns or worries
  • help children socially to form and maintain relationships
  • promote self-esteem and ensure children know that they count
  • encourage children to be confident and to ‘paint their own rainbow’
  • help children to develop emotional resilience and to manage setbacks 

 

We follow a graduated response to the social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs of our children:

Wave 1: To meet the needs of all our pupils through our overall ethos and our wider curriculum. 

Wave 2: For those who may have short term needs and those who may have been made vulnerable by life experiences such as bereavement.  

Wave 3: For pupils who need more differentiated support and resources or specific targeted interventions.
