Child Mental Health Week

At Sacred Heart School this week, we have been thinking about our Mental Health with a focus on the Child Mental Health Week theme - 'Know yourself, grow yourself'.

All Key Stages had a special Mental Health assembly led by Mrs S Griffiths and Mrs HT to think about ways we can learn to recognise how we feel, what to do with uncomfortable feelings and how to develop our resilience. Resources for parents have been sent out on the portal from Place2Be and pupils have been using school resources linked to this.

Our Well-being clubs are thriving at Sacred Heart. We have a Key Stage 2 drop in on Wellbeing Wednesdays and have just started up a Key Stage 1 drop in on Mindful Mondays which has been extremely well attended. We have also started an Indoor Calm space on a Monday lunchtime for Key Stage 2 and are hoping to add more to our weekly calendar.

Children really enjoy the activities and are using their pupil voices to express what they need us to offer them to support well-being and mindfulness in our school. We are pleased to announce the first of our Wellbeing Ambassadors in school to promote wellbeing and mindfulness among their peers and we are hoping more will follow.

Thank you to these pupils for all their support for promoting wellbeing in school and being fantastic role models.
