Mental Health and Well-Being

Headstart

We are delighted to be part of Headstart. This is a pupil mental health champion initiative which has been really successful in Middlesbrough with over 800 primary, secondary and college pupils being trained. As well as working in our own school Headstart brings the champions from others together to share good practice and undertake workshops.

Our HeadStarters are an army of children who are trained through an education programme. The intention is to build confidence and increase their knowledge and skills to be able to recognise how to maintain good mental health and emotional wellbeing.

Inside Out
We are delighted to be able to report that we are an ‘InsideOut’ school.
The InsideOut team deliver a whole school approach to mental health and wellbeing and support our children and young people experiencing mild to moderate mental health issues.
The partnership is fully supported and working in collaboration with NHS TEWV.  They work directly with our school alongside existing provision.  This partnership approach will help embed a culture of openness around mental health, forge stronger links between education settings and the wider Mental Health offer in South Tees and ensure children and young people can access appropriate support and stay in education.

Therapy Dogs

In order to support well-being further we have recently invested in the use of Therapy Dogs to provide emotional support, lower stress and boost academic confidence.
