Wellbeing
At Marlbrook Primary school, we are committed to supporting the emotional health and wellbeing of our pupils, staff and our school community. Our vision is for our pupils to grow as individuals, work together and develop an understanding of the world around them. To achieve this, we believe in a whole school approach, where our ethos is based on providing a nurturing, caring environment where positive mental health is promoted across a broad range of school initiatives and bespoke PSHE curriculum.
However, we know that, at some point, everyone experiences life challenges that can make us vulnerable and we understand that additional emotional support may be required. To do this we aim to initially support families through our student support team.
Taking proactive steps to avoid more serious problems from arising is essential and we aim to ensure that pupils are able to access help whenever they need it. We are working with the WEST team to support pupils and families and are able to signpost further support for these families.
In July 2021, we were successfully awarded the Wellbeing Award for Schools status. Here at Marlbrook Primary school, we value the health and wellbeing of all members of our school community and this award recognises all of the hard work that we do in relation to supporting our community with issues linked to mental health and wellbeing. This award is due for renewal this academic term, if you have any questions about the award please contact Mrs Turner, the Mental Health and Wellbeing lead.
If you find that you would like further help and support we have a dedicated student support team, who are friendly and approachable so that if you are worried about your child or a difficult situation in your family you can also contact them for support.
