Wellbeing and Mental Health

At Ilketshall St Lawrence Primary School, we are committed to supporting the emotional health and wellbeing of our pupils and staff. We have a supportive and caring ethos and our approach is respectful and kind, where each individual and their contribution is valued. At our school we know that everyone experiences life challenges that can make us vulnerable and at times, anyone may need additional emotional support. We take the view that positive mental health is everybody’s business and that we all have a role to play.

Complete Human Strategy

Well-being is also a Trust priority. We therefore have an ASSET programme of work which we follow to ensure every child, parent, staff member and indidivual within the school community is reassured that their wellbeing and own mental health is of great importance to us as a team. This strategy is called the Complete Human Strategy. 

Our work on this strategy ensures that throughout the year we focus on six different pillars - these are Relationships and Communication, Positivity, Time Well Spent, Place, Expertise and Structure. Together we work on action points to enhance and develop our response to each of these areas. We have also signed up to the Wellbeing Charter which we hope will enhance and develop our work even further.
