What will my child learn about Wellbeing and Mental Health?
Our school team focus on teaching children about how our brain works and how this can affect our mental health and wellbeing in positive ways as well as challenges.
We use a variety of resources in school such as My Happy Mind and our Personal Development Curriculum.
