Mental Health and Wellbeing

SENDCo – Miss Edmonds

Learning Mentor – Mrs Christmas-Stone

At Newton Leys Primary School and Nursery, we are committed to supporting the positive mental health and wellbeing of our whole community of children, staff, parents and carers.

We strongly value the importance of a nurture based approach in supporting children’s mental health and wellbeing development.

We understand how important positive mental health and wellbeing is to our lives.  We recognise that children’s mental health is a vital factor in their overall wellbeing and how it can affect their learning and achievements. 

Our School encourages children to be open and we support all children to have their voice heard.

We support the children to develop their self-esteem and build resilience. This is achieved through a range of approaches including our PSHE sessions, assemblies, student organisations such as the school council and targeted support from our Learning Mentor. Our culture of nurturing children and building resilience to mental health problems means our school is a safe place.

Newton Leys Primary School is a place for children to experience a nurturing and supportive environment. We understand all children and their families go through ups and downs, and some face significant life events and we encourage children and their families to seek support from our staff when needed.
