Why Mental Health and Well-being are Important at Heswall Primary School

 

Promoting Mental Health and Well-being at Heswall Primary School
 
 
To all of our families,
 
At Heswall Primary School, our dedicated focus is on fostering positive mental health and well-being for all members of our school community, including students, faculty, parents, and caregivers. We believe that parents and caregivers play a crucial role in this process. Recognizing the fundamental significance of mental health and emotional well-being in our daily lives, on par with physical health, is intrinsic to our school philosophy.
 
We comprehend that children's mental health is a cornerstone for their overall well-being and substantially influences their academic performance and accomplishments. Prolonged mental health challenges may present increased learning obstacles for certain pupils compared to their peers of the same age group.
 
At Heswall Primary, we are deeply committed to supporting our students during periods of transition and stress. Our dedication extends to nurturing their resilience, maximizing their potential, and facilitating access to assistance when required. We also ensure that students are educated about the importance of maintaining positive mental health, reducing stigma, and identifying sources of help and support.
 
Our school endeavours to instil protective factors that fortify resilience against mental health challenges.
 
At our school, we:
- Facilitate the understanding of emotions and feelings among children
- Cultivate an environment where children feel at ease confiding their concerns or worries
- Foster and sustain meaningful relationships among children
- Promote self-esteem and affirm the value of every child
- Encourage children to exhibit confidence and embrace individuality
- Aid children in developing emotional resilience and navigating setbacks
- Foster an environment where children feel empowered to openly communicate with a trusted adult about their issues without encountering stigma
- Uphold a zero-tolerance policy against bullying
 
Remember, you are not alone. We are always here to provide assistance whenever you need it.
 
Yours sincerely,
 
Mrs N J Martin
