At Alderman Payne we aim to promote good mental well-being and resilience across the school.
We have a team of staff within school who contribute to supporting mental health and well-being
Mrs Mulford: Senior Mental Health Lead as Headteacher
Mrs Hempsall (SENCo): Designated Mental Health and Well-being Lead.
Mrs Allen and Mrs Clarke: ELSA practitioners (Emotional Literacy Support Assistants) who support children to develop positive emotional well-being
Mrs Lakey: Drawing and Talking Therapy
If you have concerns around your child's emotional well being it is important that you share these with their Class Teacher.
Mental Health Policy
Mrs Allen and Mrs Clarke have created a well being garden for the children to visit. The children are part of maintaining this safe space. This is a great, calm space for children to learn and grow!
Here are some excellent posters put together by The Emotional Literacy Support Assistants. There are some great strategies to support your child's emotional well being.
