Sheddingdean Wellbeing
Ensuring the wellbeing of our children, staff and community is extremely important to us and is woven through our curriculum by our core school values curiosity, kindness, aspiration and self belief. Children learn how to keep themselves safe and well through our PSHCE curriculum and we also promote wellbeing and how to access support through themed weeks such as Mental Health Awareness Week.
As a school we talk about wellbeing and encourage children to find strategies that work for them when they need to.
Our Mental Health First Aider is Sarah Watson (Assistant Head and Inclusion Lead)
Our Emotional Literacy Support Assistant (ELSA) is Graham Knight
We aim to be an accessible school for all and the door is always open if you have any worries regarding the mental health and wellbeing of your child. We will do our best to sign-post you in the best direction for support.
