We believe that good social, emotional and mental wellbeing lays the foundations for healthy minds and a capacity to learn.
Our overall intention is for all pupils in school to develop the self-esteem, resilience and emotional understanding to be able to play an active part in school life, becoming effective and successful learners and friends.
