Wellbeing & Mental Health
Our Wellbeing Warriors are a group of compassionate and empathetic children from Key Stage 1 and 2, who have been selected by their peers to be wellbeing representatives for the Federation. They care about the wellbeing of everyone in our school community and share their ideas with the Mental Health and Wellbeing Team, which is made up of staff and governors.
Children's Mental Health Week 2025
The theme this year is 'Know yourself, Grow yourself' and we have spent the week learning about our emotions, with the aim to equip and empower everyone to understand themselves better, build resilience, grow and celebrate how special and valued we are. Our Wellbeing Warriors helped to introduce the week within our Collective Worships.
Throughout the week we have taken part in a range of activities to help us learn how we can develop and maintain our own positive mental health:
For children:
-
Creating our own emotion characters similar to those in the film Inside Out
-
Mindful drawing and colouring exercises
-
Mindful breathing exercises
-
Walk a mile throughout the week
-
Nature walks through our beautiful woodland
-
Time for quiet reflection in our Spiritual Garden
-
Church team workshops to learn about how we are seen, known and loved by God
-
‘I can’ and ‘I’d like to learn to’ cards
-
Internet safety workshops
For staff:
-
Bringing and sharing snacks and treats with each other in the staffroom
