​
At North, we understand that children learn best when they feel happy, safe, and supported. That’s why we place such importance on caring for the mental health and wellbeing of every child in our school community.
Our wellbeing team, Mrs Hern and Mr Green, work closely with children and families to offer a range of support tailored to individual needs.
​
This includes:
The Listening Post - A safe space for children to talk about anything that is on their mind.
Group interventions - focusing on Friendship issues, Self-esteem,
Drawing and Talking Therapy - A low level 1-1 approach to support children to understand and work through any emotional difficulties
​
All designed to help children express their feelings, build confidence, and develop healthy ways to manage challenges. If you have any worries or concerns about your child’s wellbeing, Mrs Hern or Mr Green will be happy to hear from you.
​
As a school we use "5 ways to Wellbeing" approach to support pupils, staff and parents
Ethos
Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be the best you can be.
At North Primary we have high expectations of how you will behave towards your friends, adults and how you treat school property. We expect you to come to school every day (unless you are ill) on time. Very occasionally children might make a bad choice, we have clear consequences, click on the link for our rules poster.
ANTI - BULLYING
We don't tolerate bullying at North. If you feel that you might be being bullied - speak to a member of our welfare team or put a note in the listening post.
