Mental Health & Wellbeing of Parents/Carers

Mental Health & Wellbeing of Our Pupils/Children

Schools have a critical role to play in the mental health and wellbeing of their pupils. At Crofton Junior School, the skills, knowledge and understanding needed by our students to keep themselves mentally healthy and safe are included as part of our developmental PSHE curriculum, which is taught using the Jigsaw scheme of work. Jigsaw brings together PSHE Education, compulsory Relationships and Health Education, emotional literacy, mindfulness, social skills and spiritual development. A specific unit (Healthy Me) is also focussed on the emotional and mental health of our students.

​

We also focus heavily on problem solving and resilience within lessons and as part of the whole school culture. Staff have been trained to recognise children who may need additional support with their mental health and our Mental Health School Procedure allows us to act quickly and effectively. 

Mental Health & Wellbeing of Staff

Our staff's mental health & wellbeing is a big priority at Crofton Junior School and we do all that we can to ensure staff are and feel effectively supported.
