At our Settle CE Primary School, we recognise how important mental health and emotional wellbeing is to our lives in just the same way as physical health.
We see our school as being a place for children to experience a nurturing and supportive environment, which has the potential to develop self-esteem and give positive experiences for overcoming adversity and building resilience.
We aim to promote positive mental health and wellbeing for all of our staff and children. We pursue this aim using both universal, whole school approaches and specialised, targeted approaches aimed at vulnerable children.
In addition to promoting positive mental health, we aim to recognise and respond to mental ill health. By developing and implementing practical, relevant and effective mental health policies and procedures, we can promote a safe and stable environment for pupils affected both directly and indirectly by mental ill health.
