Pupil Mental Health and Wellbeing
Offley prides itself on a curriculum building positive emotions and helping them realise that making mistakes is part of learning. We educate about being resilient and how their well-being is very important to all of us. Our Healthy Body / Healthy Mind week further promotes these issues and we look forward to sharing with you some photos of the activities we have been involved with.
Following Covid, it is even more important to think about our children's mental health and well-being. There are some web site links below that promote the health and well-being of our children. Please take some time to have a look through them. I'm happy to receive information about any successes that you have had.
There is a service offered by the NHS Community Trust called 'Children's Wellbeing Practitioners Service' offering interventions, workshops and advice. Please follow the link below for further information.
