Well-Being
At Bickerton Holy Trinity CE Primary School, we want our children to know how to build life-long happiness and feel safe and secure in school in whatever activity they are taking part in. As part of our PSCHE curriculum and our day to day practice, we develop self-regulation skills and emotional control for our pupils in a variety of ways.
We have a central place in school called 'The Snug' where children can come to have some calm time or just to have some time to regulate. There is always a friendly face to support whether that is a member of staff or other pupils.
MyHappyMind
We use the MyHappyMind curriculum which is a complete mental health and emotional wellbeing package. It is a science and NHS backed programme which is grounded in the latest research about what it takes to create positive wellbeing. The programme is an integral part of our relationships curriculum and is taught across five modules: Meet my Brain; Celebrate; Appreciate; Relate and Engage and each introduces a new set of content and habits to help children build resilience, self-esteem and confidence.
At Bickerton, we have a three-tiered approach to supporting children with difficulties they may face.
Tier 1:
This is our quality first approach to mental health and wellbeing- weekly teaching all children the key components to life-long happiness and strong mental health- through myhappymind.This builds healthy practices and habits for life.
Tier 2:
We have1 member of staff who will soon be ELSA trained and can provide social and emotional support to children under the guidance of the educational psychology team.
This would be a 6 week intervention with regular check-ins.
Tier 3:
We have access to counselling through Healthbox (referral only). This is for children whose difficulties are having a greater impact on their day-to-day life.
If you have any concerns about your child's wellbeing or mental health or your own, we are always here to listen and support.
