At Grange Moor Primary School, we are committed to supporting the emotional health and wellbeing of our pupils and staff. We have a supportive and caring ethos and our approach is respectful and kind, where each individual and contribution is valued. At our school we know that everyone experiences life challenges that can make us vulnerable and at times, anyone may need additional emotional support. We take the view that positive mental health is everybody’s business and that we all have a role to play.

(Please refer to our Mental Health and Wellbeing policy for more information).

This year, we have become part of the MHST programme which will enable us to promote and support the Mental Health and Wellbeing of all pupils and staff, and work together with our parents and carers. Over the course of the year, we will offer workshops to parents and children and access training and support for staff.
