Student Wellbeing
Mental Health includes our emotional, psychological and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others and make choices.
As a school, we want everyone, both students and staff, to know:
- Where and how to seek support;
- That mental well-being is a normal part of everyday life;
- How to recognise and talk about emotions;
- That there is a normal range of emotions;
- That isolation and loneliness can affect everyone and that it is very important to discuss feelings and seek support;
- The benefits of physical exercise and time outside in nature;
As a school our aim is to:
- Remove any stigma around mental health.
- Normalise conversations about mental health and well-being.
- Develop positive emotional resilience to support young people to be better equipped to deal with the various stressful events in their lives
- Provide high-quality, timely, mental health support through a range of interventions.
Support Available in school
We have a range of trained staff available to support students with their mental well-being at all times. We also work very closely with a range of external agencies, who can support our students throughout their time at school.
This includes the following;
- School counsellors
- ELSA trained staff
- Youth mental health first aiders
- School nurse
- Beverley Schools Christian Trust
- Mental Health Support Team
- Mental Health & Wellbeing Service
- Children and Young People’s Social Prescribing
What to do if you feel your child needs some support?
If your child is struggling with anxiety, self esteem, confidence or any other concerns linked to their mental health, please first get in touch with their Head of Year. The Head of Year will then liaise with Mrs Good and Mrs Clarke to personalise the support needed to your child’s situation.
We all have mental health
