Mental Health
and
Well-Being
At Orchard Primary Academy we believe that your child’s mental health and well being is just as important as their physical well being. We are committed to supporting Mental Health and Well being.
From September 2023 we have developed a Pastoral team which includes our:
Pastoral Manager Mrs Elliott
Learning Mentors; Mrs Hall, Mr Smith and Mr Fisher
Behaviour Support Assistants: Mrs Leeming and Mrs Gamble
Through out the year we highlight the importance of having good physical and mental well being. This will be done through assemblies, PSHE lessons or in bespoke interventions with our pastoral team.
Talking to children about mental health is a good way to get them to understand their feelings and improve their own mental health. You can find hints and tips about talking to your child regarding their mental health in this leaflet.
