The wellbeing of the children and staff at Springvale Primary is of the utmost importance. At our school, we believe that in order to flourish academically, it is vitally important that children are first provided with a positive and happy place to learn. In order to ensure that our children develop into life-long happy and healthy people, we promote health and wellbeing across school in a variety of ways.

Further to this, to continuously promote health and wellbeing in school, we also have:

• A designated wellbeing support officer- Mrs A Kent- who is able to support children with a variety of needs

• School clubs that cater to the children’s interests and promote independence, peer relationships and confidence

• An experienced school counsellor who visits school every 4 weeks

• Compass Be mental health and wellbeing workshops delivered to classes Y1-6 throughout the year to support the PSHE curriculum

• E-safety learning and support for parents and children at various points across the school year

• Regular dedicated wellbeing sessions

• The worry monster which allows children to feedback to staff about any worries or concerns that they may have

• Expert visitors from a variety of backgrounds who are able to provide workshops and talks around topical areas

• School visits/ visitors promoting life skills such as swimming lessons, bikeability, Crucial Crew and Enterprise to name just a few

• School council

• Weekly certificates celebrating positive behaviour and learning attributes

• Termly curriculum awards celebrating not only attainment but progress in core and foundation subject areas

• Opportunities to celebrate different languages, cultures and religions

• A variety of extra-curricular activities on offer throughout the year

• Opportunities to learn about and celebrate British values
