Wellbeing at Wellfield

Wellfield Church School is committed to supporting the emotional health and wellbeing of our pupils and staff. 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.

As part of our commitment to maintaining positive mental health we:

• Have a team of Wellbeing Ambassadors who organise lunchtime activities based on 'The Five Ways of Wellbeing' 
• Provide opportunities to take 'Mindful Minutes' each day
• Promote our gospel values and school vision to encourage a sense of belonging
• Promote pupil voice and opportunities to participate in decision-making
• Celebrate academic and non-academic achievements in order to promote self-esteem
• Provide opportunities to reflect
• Help our children to understand their emotions and feelings better and to feel comfortable sharing any concerns or worries
• Help our children to develop emotional resilience and to manage setbacks

Wellfield Church School work in partnership with Six Connections, ELCAS, Brighter Lives and New Era to promote ongoing Positive Mental Health and Wellbeing for both pupils and staff. If parents have any concerns for themselves or their child/ren, they can contact the Pupil and Family Support Worker or SENDCo who are able to provide Early Help or signposting and referral to relevant agencies if required.

As a school we are committed to the continual development of Wellbeing and Positive Mental Health support within the school and, as such, will be participating in the National Wellbeing Pilot working towards receiving the National Wellbeing Award to become a Lancashire Wellbeing Pioneer School.
