At Carbeile Junior School, we place a strong emphasis on the emotional wellbeing and mental health of every child. We believe that good mental health is just as important as physical health and underpins a child’s ability to thrive both in and out of the classroom. Through a nurturing environment and a thoughtfully designed curriculum, we support each child’s emotional development every step of the way.
Our aim is to create a school community where every child feels safe, supported, and valued. By encouraging open conversations and promoting positive mental health practices, we empower our pupils with the confidence and resilience they need to face life’s challenges.
We follow the DfE’s Mental Health and Behaviour in Schools guidance, recognising that early intervention is key to identifying issues and providing effective support.
