Emotional well-being & mental health
At Park End Primary, we place the emotional wellbeing and mental health of our children at the heart of everything that we do. That is why we have developed a robust tiered response of support for our children, and our curriculum ensures that pupils are taught how to prioritise their own emotional wellbeing and mental health.
We understand that the primary years are a key time for children to develop their own identify and develop the knowledge and skills to grow into happy, healthy adults who go on to engage positively in society.
The Pastoral Care Team
Park End has a pastoral care team, who are here to support children and families with their emotional well-being. If you have any worries or concerns about your child’s emotional well-being, please contact one of the staff below:

Teacher, Deputy Social, Emotional and Mental Health Lead
Our tiered response to emotional well being and mental health
As part of our commitment to promoting positive emotional wellbeing and mental health, we have developed a robust tiered response strategy. Our tiered system ensures children are signposted to the correct level of support when they require it.
External services who support us
In circumstances where a child needs additional support, other than what the school can provide, a referral can be made as part of our graduated approach detailed in our tiered response section. We work closely with a number of external services and charities who can support children, and their families, in our school ‘Nurture Hub’ or in external venues.
