Well-Being Vision

At Maple Grove Primary School, we are dedicated to nurturing the emotional health and well-being of our pupils, their families, and our staff.

We recognise that life’s challenges can affect us all, and sometimes additional emotional support is needed. We believe that promoting positive mental health is a shared responsibility, and everyone has a role to play.

We are also a trauma-informed school.

At our school we:

• Support children in understanding and expressing their emotions and feelings

• Create a safe space where children feel comfortable sharing concerns or worries

• Assist children in building and maintaining positive social relationships

• Promote self-esteem and help children recognise their value

• Encourage confidence and inspire children to embrace their uniqueness

• Foster emotional resilience and teach children how to cope with challenges and setbacks

We offer different levels of support:

Universal Support – To meet the needs of all our pupils through our overall ethos and our wider curriculum. For instance, developing resilience for all.

Additional support – For those who may have short-term needs and those who may have been made vulnerable by life experiences such as bereavement, divorce or separation.

Targeted support – For pupils who need more differentiated support and resources or specific targeted interventions such as ELSA, Drawing and taking, well-being groups, personal mentors, PACE or Theraplay or referrals to wider specialist support services.
