Tibberton Community Primary School and Early Years
Wellbeing and Mental Health at Tibberton
We want everyone in our school community to feel that their mental and emotional wellbeing is as important to us as their physical health. A strength of our school is the caring community where staff, students and families feel supported at all times.
Our children benefit from weekly PSHE sessions that incorporate mindfulness, learning about mental health and helping our children to become emotionally literate.
Please do contact the school If you have any concerns about your child or if you need any additional support and we will do our best to guide you.
If you do have concerns, these can be raised through your child’s class teacher. Alternatively, you can contact the headteacher, Mrs Sarah Wilson.
If we have any concerns in school then we will communicate with you to work together to best support you and your child.
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 paramount and that we all have a role to play.
We have a dedicated Play Therapist - Naomi Murray from Every Cloud Play Therapy - who visits the school and nursery every week to run play therapy sessions for children needing this support.
These sessions are run within school and can be privately funded by parents as well as by school.
If you would like more information please visit the website or contact the school office. https://www.everycloudtherapy.org.uk/
There are also online resources that can help.
