Mental Health and Wellbeing

Positive Mental Health

Mental health is a state of well-being in which every individual realises his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community. (World Health Organisation)
 
In our school, we aim to promote positive mental health for every member of our staff and our pupils. We pursue this aim using both universal, whole Trust/academy approaches and specialised, targeted approaches aimed at vulnerable pupils, including support for families.
 
Supportive websites:
 
Young Minds - advice relating to emotional and mental health, also has a parent helpline

Special Needs Jungle - advice for and from parents of SEND children

Nip in the Bud - information and advice on mental health disorders

Help for households:

There is a wealth of helpful information on the government ‘help for households’ webpage, ranging from which supermarkets are offering discounts, to how to get help with energy bills and childcare costs.

We are here for the whole of our school community and to support families in any way we can. Please do get in touch to see how we can help. 

 

Early Help: Supporting Children and Families in our School

At Ilsington C of E, we believe that early support can make a big difference in a child’s life. Early Help is about identifying and addressing any challenges children and their families may be facing as soon as possible. By working together with parents, carers, and other services, we aim to provide the right support at the right time, helping children to thrive both at school and at home.


Our Early Help approach ensures that every child has the opportunity to develop socially, emotionally, and academically in a safe and nurturing environment. Support can come from within the school, as well as from other professionals and community services. At Ilsington, we are committed to ensuring that every child feels safe, supported, and ready to learn. If you think your child or family could benefit from Early Help, please don’t hesitate to speak to a member of our staff. We are here to help!
