Mental Health at

Whitnash Primary School

Developing and improving Mental Health

is integral to everything we do at

Whitnash Primary School.

We do this through

many different approaches:

Thrive

Please follow the link on our PSHE page

to find more about this approach

that supports the emotional development

of all children in our school.

Personal, Social and

Health Education (PSHE)

Our SCARF PSHE scheme actively promotes

the development of good mental health

through our lessons and assemblies.

Mental First Aid

We have a trained Mental First Aider

to support both children

and staff when needed.

RISE

(e.g. MHST, Neurodevelopment team, PMHT). 

We work with these teams

to make referrals where appropriate.

We receive additional professional,

tailored support for individual children

who meet the required threshold.

Counselling Service

A number of our children receive counselling

through the Snowford Grange Service.

We consider this to be

a very important investment

in for the well-being of our children.

Bereavement Service

(Guy’s Gift)

We have a member of staff

working closely with Guy’s Gift

and have one-to-one sessions

running in school.

If you have concerns around

the mental health of your child,

please speak to your child’s class teacher,

Miss Brown or Mrs. Ellison.

We are always happy

to listen and support you.
