Mental Health & Wellbeing

 At St John and St Francis school, supporting the emotional needs of the pupils within our care is fundamental to all that we do. This has involved supporting them both within and outside of the classroom, as we recognise that it is only when children feel emotionally settled and secure that they are able to properly access learning. 

If you are worried about your child’s mental health then you are not alone. Many parents and carers have similar worries and stresses. There is good support available from local and national organisations. The sooner you seek help the better for your child and you.

The staff that are directly involved in Mental Health Being at our school are as follows:

  • PSHE/RSE Lead/Senior Mental Health Lead-Emily Wells
  • ELSA trained teaching assistants-Jo Young and Zoe Evans
